Default !EGR down side?

I was reading and tried a search with no luck maybe some tech heads can chime in with my question.

I got this quote off www.InstallUniversity.com
When you are strapped for cash free modifications look better and better. Do not be surprised if you see a slight increase in engine temperature (only a few degree's and should only be noticeable using a scan tools such as Auto Tap) because the re-circulated gases (which help cool the cylinders) will have more trouble entering the system as they were intended

Now I've read no bad things about this but say under extreme load or heat would this rob power at all or have a down side? *Long high RPM operation or very hot day hard driving?* I've never found a problem or heard a down side this is just somthing I ponder before I break my tools out.

Thanks for all the insite I know you guys and gals will have!

EGR only recirculates exhaust at part throttle, light loads. At WOT (*Long high RPM operation or very hot day hard driving?*) , the EGR valve would be closed.
