A radiant barrier is a different thing altogether than a singular object made of the same material. We're talking about whether a shiny steel ball will radiate more heat than a dull steel ball of the same temperature. No barriers or insulation.

That's a nice picture, but where can we watch two objects of identical composition - differing only in the reflectivity of their surface - heated to identical temperatures cool at vastly different rates?

I can't find an example right now, but I've seen them years ago.
