One nice thing about myths, if we don't like one, we can always
make one up that better fits our personal world view. Does that
make us mythical creatures?

Personally, I am prefer room temperature on the thought that for
most of the time that humans have been making bread, they did not
have the means to significantly alter the temperatures in their
environment. I should be able to cope as well as my ancesters
with the demands of breadmaking.
On the reality side, it doen't matter a whit what we *feel* about
things, chilling dough *is* an integral and legitimate part of
some process procedures.
