Correct (as far as i can tell). INERT gasses don't support combustion, that tells me that there is less combustion (relatively speaking) and therefore less total heat generated. here's another way to look at it. same amount of fuel x less oxygen = richer mixture = less heat. if it came down to being about pressure than having EGR on an engine with a MAP sensor wouldn't work. just my 2 cents
