I don't see why cold water would cause root rot. Temperaute has nothing to do with the creation of bacteria colonizing in the root mass which causes rot, and if anything, lower temperatures hinder such things from happening.
Hi FooDoo, I think I can answer your question. What happens is when you shock the root mass with a temperature change like that is that it causes plant tissue damage which in turn begins the process of cellular necrosis which then bring on the bacteria that causes root rot and so on and so forth. I am grossly oversimplifying everything that is happening, but just trying to convey the information in a non tl;dr way. I hope that helped.
Sorry, I am not going to do the digging for you. Believe what you will.
