I think it also has to do with wrinkling. When you spin dry after a warm rinse, it tends to wrinkle more.

I know that I don't know it all about clothes (or anything), but Lately I've gone back to how I started washing clothes. Everything in one load. Cold water. Dry on low. The cold water saves energy and the dry on low keeps my woody woodpecker t-shirt from fading.

When I don't want wrinkles, I just make sure to be there when the dryer shuts off and then hang up the stuff I don't want wrinkled. Works good enough for me. I look like an idiot for other reasons...
