You are thinking opposite of reality. You generate higher temps braking short and hard not long and soft, because the brakes are dissipating heat while slowly braking, while braking hard they do not have time to dissipate heat. It’s still the same amount of heat or energy, just dissipated differently.

you are still missing my point:
if you do the braking in a shorter amt. of time, less heat gets transferred into the fluid, and namely, there’s more time for it to cool. I realize the SAME amt. of heat is generated - you’re trading the same MPH for frictive and adhesive force - that was never my statement, to say that it was cooler.
