Of course, but what the GP means is that it's a wonder that nighttime temperature isn't colder than it is, if we didn't know better (of course, we know that nighttime temperature isn't absolute zero) it wouldn't be absurd to think that since temperature goes down that fast during an eclipse that lasts a few minutes, it could reach barely above absolute zero in just an hour or so during night.
But on Earth it doesn't, for many reasons that are not all that obvious or intuitive.
But if you're surprised by that, you should also be surprised that the surface of the earth isn't just heat-blasted stone as far as the eye can see.
Unmediated temperatures occur on the moon, and they swing from around 90 K at night to around 380 K during the day. Temperatures on the surface of the earth just aren't closely related to insolation. We've got a biosphere - and an atmosphere - for that.
I really, really think the first poster is expressing a sentiment about the sensory awe from experiencing an eclipse, not about a faulty and extremely literal temperature model.
