Actually, I think it is the rate of cooling *and* the differential
cooling -- if it exists at all. Like you, I am skeptical -- but am I
willing to bet $25K on it? Nope.

How does the rate affect things? I have a masters in structural
engineering and work for a materials company so don't be afraid to get
technical. :-)

It doesn't (in metals) unless the temperature change is very high and
very localized as in welding.
