You are correct -- after I posted I realized I should have said "stays open longer". However,I will quote from Motor "Auto Engines and Electrical Systems": "Before adjusting the valve clearance it is extremely important that the engine be warmed up for about 30 minutes to normalize he expansion of all parts. This is very important because during the warmup period,the valve clearances will change considerably --- Covering the radiator will not materially hasten this normalization process because even with the water temperature quickly raised, it does not change the rate at which the oil temperature increases and becomes stabilized, or the engine parts become normalized." No argument, I remembered reading this the other day when I was adjusting the valves on my Super H. I agree that the metal parts hold temperature for a while, but I'm still not positive mine are right.
