That's not a blooper. That's a systematic discussion
of the less-than-general case where it makes sense to
talk about heat-flow.

It is _never_ helpful to the intro student to have heat flow. It might
possibly be tolerable usage between those who already thoroughly understand
the First Law -- but why do it.
