    Well, no. Reductionism still holds. If you could magically make the water everywhere inside super cold, it would behave locally just like water in a smaller creature. Unfortunately, it seems impossible to do that. Even pumping coolant through the circulatory system, which is a thing I know happens in some related procedures, at least.

      Its a very complex problem. Even if you pump coolant it will either prevent cells from getting oxygen or clog both of which are bad.

      My point previously was that water doesn’t conduct heat well. (0.6065 W/(m·K))
