I get pedantic when speculation on my part (about the possible
equivalency between under-tank heating and substrate heating coils)
gets vehemently refuted with what turns out to be more speculation
cloaked in science and engineering terminology.

Some people are going through a lot of trouble to design DIY substrate
heating systems.  I imagine they might be rather ticked off if they found out
later that they could have achieved comparable results with a simple
and inexpensive under-tank heater.  From this thread it would seem that
there is no definitive answer at the moment.
