Nah the point of the freeze test is to detect mechanical cracks in components or 
circuitry ... the idea is that the mechanical stress associated with a sudden 
temperature change won't affect good components but cracked or damaged components will 
be stressed enough to cause failure. Its a bit better than the 'bang test' (ie. 
bashing the thing!) because its not likely to damage good components.
