And if you want to get overly technical, read this PDF...

By decreasing the surface tension of the fluid, it increases thermal efficiency and heat transfer which has the overall effect of lowering coolant system temperatures. There are no laws of Thermal Dynamics being violated.
So, wouldn't a drop or two of dish soap achieve the same thing? (Not that I read the links, but soap works by reducing water surface tension, thus making water "wetter" and therefore better at cleaning)
