No, I think it should be the other way around: if we are unable to cool
down the laptop under load we need to shut it down and let it cool. If
for some reason we are unable to shut it down in orderly fashion (kernel
is stuck holding a lock or similar) then hardware will reset it.

At least that's how I understand it.

Thanks.
