I agree. People expect different things from Live Rock. I expect it to have more life than just bacteria. Keeping that kind of life alive on rock during storage requires keeping it circulated and warm...even fed..to a degree.

Having superheated it, it will still function as bacterial rock...but to me its value has been diminished because you will have killed a lot of stuff on it.
