Well, that would be the case, wouldn't it?  The air passes over the heat exchanger to cool the oil, then goes to the AFM.  But the air temperature now IS the air temperature that the ECU should be seeing, and the one it should use in engine management.  Help me out her to understand what I am missing, if anything.

BTW, I do have a tencentlife cooler, and I believe it has mattered to my oil temperature and thus oil viscosity, and thus oil pressure.   Van runs great, too.
