Only that isn't what you said. You specifically said "Your water temp is a more important factor than your oil temp". This leads someone to believe that as soon as the water temp gauge reaches its normal resting place you are good to go when in reality the oil temp trails WAY behind. Water doesn't lubricate the engine, oil does.
