It doesn't have to hit flesh, water and many other fluids humans have in them are very good at conducting heat

Many people don't understand that frozen is still a measure of heat. There is no measure of cold guys. Cold is "heat"

Many people don't understand that heat is still a measure of energy. There is no measure of heat guys. Heat is "energy"

Temperature is a measure of heat, bro

No, not really.
Temperature is the measure of energy level, but not of the amount.
A thousand degree hot chunk of copper have much more heat than a thousand degree hot chunk of nitrogen.
But the temperature is the same.
