A better analogy is that there is a fixed amount of total money (heat), and you get the same amount of money over 8 hours, whether you take all [imath]400 in the first hour, wait 3 hours and take[/imath]200 per hour for 2 hours and then wait another 3 hours, or take [imath]3 per hour for 7 hours and then[/imath]379 in the last hour.
