For my second question of the night.  
   
  Why are typical radiator hoses about two inches in diameter when the motor 
has a thermostat that only opens about an inch or so of passage, and the 
openings in the water pump are just about as small.  Why aren't the hoses the 
same size as the smallest restriction in the system?
