Please note that nothing in the comment you're replying to assumes that every warm-blooded animal has a higher internal temperature than every cold-blooded animal.

The only assumption is that no warm-blooded animal is among those with the lowest internal temperature. The existence of some "cold-blooded" animals that are warmer does not change that.

And, less importantly, I already knew that.

You may be trying to save face, but if you did know that then your initial comment wouldn’t make sense. An organism who is cold blooded has to expose themselves to heat sources and thus take on more heat damage than a warm-blooded animal.
