It needs a *stable* temperature. It has a heater to provide regulation. The 
thing about a heater for stabilizing temperature is... it can only heat, it 
can't cool. A modest amount of cooling ensures that the system can respond to 
ambient temperature variations in both directions. A super-insulated device 
that gets too hot is helpless.
