Until you remember that your body needs energy to heat your body, and needs less energy when you lose less, having more spare every for other things like your immune system.
Yes but how much heat are those hairs actually saving? In real terms I doubt it’s a number that’s meaningful at all. Like if you had 2 clones and one had their hair shaved and one didn’t, I’m not convinced you could even measure the difference without super sensitive tools and even then it would be a fraction of a degree.
I also doubt there’s any situation where, all else being equal, one would survive and one wouldn’t purely on the basis of having those hairs.
