Why not pitch dry directly out of the refridgerator like Tubercle does.

Ummm, selection?

 I was refering to the OP's delimma of hydrating yeast and concerrn of yeast slurry temp vs. wort temp.

 I select the yeast I'm going to use out of the refrigerator and sprinkle on the cooled and aerated wort.

I don't understand your comment/question.

My misunderstanding.  I'd been reading the posts in this thread about "sufficiently pitchable number of cells" and manufacturers claims and such so I had liquid yeast on my brain.
