    one fact blows your argument out of the water. while it is true that in living rhodents the head is much warmer than the rest of the body, and gives off more heat, that is not true for frozen thawed rats. and BPs manage to find the head on a frozen thawed. and a frozen thawed is by the very fact of getting killed, then frozen, then thawed, totally uniform in temperature. so it cannot be true.

    then, your other comment.... yeah, they function through heat. heat moves at a certain velocity through solid materials. so a large object will reach thermal equilibrium slower than a small one. like, in a proper heat pit, some areas can be warmer than others because the long distances cause heatr transfer to be slow. now listen: on the nanoscale that all goes to hell because the pits the article describes will reach thermal equilibrium around 3000 times faster. getting a differentiated signal would require the receptors and neurons and the BPs brain to be 3000 times faster. (and i already mentioned that the geometry of these small things just is not right).
