I’m no lavatorial expert, but I’d guess the thermal conductivity of lava is relatively low. The high temp and high mass will keep it warm for a while, but water has a pretty high conductivity and capacity on its own. The agitation is distributing the heat too, well beyond the regular convection rate.

I would guess.
I’m not thinking that “lavatorial” is the correct word.
That conjures “lavatory”, which is something different.
For the science, yeah, more than enough water to cool the lava.
That’s just my experience. If someone does the math, I’ll love them.
If you replace the lava* with shit, the phrase still makes sense and is accurate
