As for Gareth, I remember him once claiming that he would NEVER accept that Phillips was right and the witnesses wrong, come hell or high water. That is of course. ot a medical assessment per se, but perhaps telling nevertheless. We are dealing with ripperology, and sometimes facts are pushed aside to allow for convictions.
Anybody can find information saying that feeling for warmth is an unreliable method. Many times it is dramatically worded, stating that it is a method that "should never be used since it is fraught with uncertainty". None of these pieces of information, though, state that a trained medico is going to be likely to mistke a cold body for a warm one, and THAT is the crux here.
As for my level of knowledge in these matters, I of course donīt base what I say on personal hunches.
