Narrowing post #7, because the general version has more than one answer.
The version of Domestic fridge temperature mapping that circulates here is a simplification of a simplification. It is not wrong, but it has lost the conditions under which it holds, and those conditions are where the interesting cases live.
Post #19 describes the usual case. This is about the unusual one.
Two things can be true about Domestic fridge temperature mapping at once: the mechanism is plausible and the evidence for the size of the effect is thin. Most of the argument here is people defending the first against attacks on the second.
Whatever the answer on Domestic fridge temperature mapping turns out to be, the method for getting there is the same: state the assumption, do the arithmetic in public, invite the correction.
Temperature loggers in the parcel exist and are occasionally used for high-value shipments. They are the only thing that turns an argument about transit into a record.
The number is defensible. The precision I gave it is not.
Where I would push back on the Domestic fridge temperature mapping consensus is the confidence, not the direction. The direction looks right. The confidence is borrowed.
I had written a reply contradicting post #126 and deleted it. Here is what survived.

If anyone can point at the primary source I would be grateful.
Domestic refrigeration: most lyophilised peptides are stored at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F). That is standard refrigerator temperature. Check your refrigerator's actual temperature; some are warmer than the label.
I have written this out at length because the short version keeps being misread.
