I am not assuming a linear relationship. All I'm saying is the same energy disapated into a larger surface area reults in less temperature rise

Grashofs formula shows that the relationship is
not.

Please explain all of your variables

I am not arguing that there will be no difference
:between a BBK and the stock sized rotors, just little
:difference. & that under the circumstances the rotor size
:had no relation to the accident since the issue was in the
:ability to cool the fluid & caliper, not the pad contact
:surface.

I think the rotor size had an impact. A hotter rotor ultimately leads to hotter brake fluid

:Remember the pedal went to the floor characteristic of
:boiled fluid, not the pedal was hard with no braking
:characteristic of the brake pad contact surface heating past
:the point where it can retain it's coefficient of friction.

Right, the fluid boiled because your brakes overheated because your rotors are too small
