Exactly. In their "IR Basics" document Optris give a formula for calculating temperature which involves five constants. (Actually, they write it with one constant, but that would just cancel out in the equation). The only thing that would make a small amount of sense would be to present the data from all pixels (I don't have the spec at hand .. I think it's about a 1MP camera) rather than binning them into areas for the energy calculation. I guess the laws of statistics on averaging are busted too. Who would have thought Rossi was such a genius as to be able to do THAT as well!)
