i used to pour water on the brakes when doing turns in an er. works great and gets them into the green very quickly and effectively (i.e. after you are done with your walk around they are green again). so BS it is not. i quit doing it though. the cracking popping sound... safe?? all the steam... what would the pax think??
if they are too hot for a TO try this: while parked with the brake set open the reversers. they blow air over the brakes and it helps cool them.
just my $0.02
