Equally irrelevant. Heat flows from a higher temperature body to a lower temperature body, regardless of their specific heat capacity or heat content per unit mass.
Heat transfers from a hotter body to a colder one, nothing to do with the heat content of either.If it were otherwise, you would boil every time you (70 kg of water at 37°C) swam in the sea (bazillions of tonnes at 17°C)!
So, for about the 4th time, what do you think it is in the case of the ice and water?

That can't be right; it's an intensive property.
But, I'm curious.How did you imagine it would work?How would "entropy" be the property that went up + down in the right way?
23 pages and you still can't understand that heat flow is from hot to cold. Keep trying and maybe you can get it!
Take 1 kg of Plutonium. Take 1 kg of iron with the same initial temperature. Put them in an insulated compartment. Will there be a heat flow?
How do you think Parker space probe survive in sun's corona?
You think that you already understand something by simply ignoring cases where you are not familiar with.
Insulation.
The Plutonium will increase in temperature due to spontaneous decay and the heat will flow from the higher temperature Plutonium to the lower temperature iron, just like you have been told innumerable times.

You are ignoring heat generated in iron due to impact by emission from radioactive decay.

Take a container with two compartments. Left compartment is filled with sugar solution. Right compartment is filled with salt solution. Take out the separator. Diffusion will make both compartments eventually reach equilibrium with equal ratio of salt and sugar. Each sugar molecule doesn't have to know where the other sugar and salt molecules are at any time. The equilibrium will be reached naturally by statistical mean.
My point is, that temperature difference is not the only parameter that can drive material/energy transfer.

The one constant in your posts is that when you ask a question you will never accept the answer. I really don't 'get you'.
I'm trying to remind you that there are other factors besides temperature that can affect experimental results which haven't been ruled out properly/convincingly.

It is a common practice in science where one answer generates more questions. Get use to it. Even more questions will come up when the offered answer is not convincing.
Heat is one form of energy. In another thread I discussed what distinguish heat from other forms of energy.
It was also mentioned previously that heat is not identical with temperature.
Heat can be added to an object without changing its temperature.
Temperature can be seen as a manifestation of heat.
Heat can change the temperature of matter if that's what you mean.
