Watering the garden

At home, I am challenged why I keep on watering the plant in the morning (around 10am) and am told it is too warm for the plant (as the plant will die drinking warm water)

In my mind I challenge back the idea if that is really true :
- When saying it will heat up the plant at noon, what temperature is bad for the plant ?
- Does it depends on the weather and climate of the day
- Does it depends on sunrise and sunset time ?

I believe the answer is much more complicated than "The best time to water your plant is early morning, around 8am-9pm". But why people keep telling each other so ? The only reason I can find is because it is easy tip to remember, without thinking too much.

9GAGgers are very fond of the saying "Apologizing does not mean you are wrong and the other person is correct. It means you value the relationship more than your ego". Now, what if so many people are following this, are they responsible for spreading bull-shit ?

As for those believing that watering at noon would burn the plants:
