I agree with the sun exposure part, but that's about it. My professor is a member of the Korey Stringer Institute(http://ksi.uconn.edu/) which is widely recognized as one of the best resources for information on exercise and heat! I'm going to trust him, the research he's done, his Ph.d, and the multiple places on the site where it advocates minimal clothing.Fair enough. Research is ongoing. I'm just conveying the results of my personal testing, which may eventually turn out to be flawed. If you have any links to your prof's work on the subject, please share.
Nevertheless, there is also a good body of anecdotal evidence that supports the "light loose clothing for sun/heat" approach. Look at ultrarunner's clothing for races like Badwater. Or, look at indigenous clothing in hot, sunny parts of the world.
Finally, what about my other bullets (1, 3, and 4) do you not agree with?
