Absolutely, not fine and very dangerous advice. Never, ever deflate a hot tire because the pressure increases due to driving. If it is hot and you are carrying a heavy load at high speed, the solution is to slow down. Even then expect high pressure during highway driving in hot weather.
Maybe so. I never deflate tires in middle of drive so do not know. The tire should be able to handle being heated up and the increased psi that goes with it.
So, what happens if a tire is deflated a little bit?
pizza-oven guy, 115 deg is hot to walk around in all day, but not going to burn anything. A sauna is usually 180 degrees by comparison. water boils at 212.
