You don't NEED a scientific instrument to detect a significant difference in temperature; the key word is SIGNIFICANT.
But if it makes you feel good, far be it for me to spoil your party.
You started off by saying that looking for a difference in temps is basically a waste of time; overkill. You even used the example of 30 degrees difference between two adjacent duals, which IS significant (and unlikely to be caused by a bearing or caliper, which would affect BOTH tires). Yet you yourself now admit to doing just that, albeit in a much less accurate way. So in reality, a temp gun is simply an alternate way of doing exactly what you admit you do. Just like a tire pressure gauge is a "scientific instrument" to replace a simple tire thumper.
Even with a temp gun, I too am looking for a SIGNIFICANT difference. But I don't have to get down on my hands & knees and reach under the vehicle to touch the inner duals. For less than $30, it's worth it to me; cheap, faster, easier, and accurate. As opposed to Hands; cheaper ($0), but slower, more difficult, inaccurate (and dirty). But hey, party on! ;)
