The point is for one revolution out of 60 the engine is getting slightly hotter air. It is only hotter due to heating by the wheel and some efficiency factor and I bet most of this heat is dissipated in the intercooler. Most of the temperature increase is lost due to the reduction in pressure as it is vented back into the intake. In fact, with an awesome intercooler, the air expanding out of the valve could be COLDER than ambient. Its how every refrigeration (save thermo-electric)system works.
Even if there is a minimal increase in temperature were to have an effect on the engine it would most likley only affect 1 revolution of the engine which when running at 4000RPM is only 15 milliseconds.
Thus the whole BOV>BPV arguement is based on a very slight performance decrease for 15 milliseconds, which is probably occurs before you even manage to get the throttle to the floor.
so to sum up your point. your point is that hot air doesn't effect power
