Riiiight. The ol' cockamammy "Self-Turbulence" concept
of yours. You'd just put on a bigger and bigger and BIGGER
heatsink until - by brute size alone - enough heat would bleed
through the boundary layer to cool the part. Then you'd sit
back and say "See, all it needed was "proper design".
Meanwhile, you could've gotten the same result with a smaller
heatsink and some improved turbulence.
