Sorry, whilst that is an interesting theory, it is largely incorrect.

The temperature of the air PRIOR to the inlet valve closing dictates quite substantially the actual amount of oxygen present in the cylinder and thus affects both the Peak Cylinder Pressure & thus the burn time / advance requirement. This is of course one of the main reasons we fit intercoolers.
