"Planck's formula predicts that a black body will radiate energy at all 
frequencies, but its intensity rapidly tends to zero at high frequencies 
(low wavelengths).# For example, a black body at room temperature (300 
kelvins) with one square meter of surface area will emit a photon in the 
visible range once every minute or so, meaning that for most practical 
purposes a black body at room temperature does not emit in the visible 
range. Significance of this fact for the derivation of Planck's law from 
experimental data, and for the substantiation of the law by the data, is 
discussed in^[18] 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck%27s_law_of_black-body_radiation#cite_note-Ribaric-17>
 


Ultimately, Planck's assumption of energy quantization and Einstein's 
photon hypothesis became the fundamental basis for the development 
ofquantum mechanics <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics>."

Also from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_body;
"Inphysics <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics>, a*black body*is an 
idealizedobject <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_body>that absorbs 
allelectromagnetic radiation 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation>falling on it. 
Black bodies absorb and incandescently 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescence>re-emit radiation in a 
characteristic, continuous spectrum. Because no light (visible 
electromagnetic radiation) is reflected or transmitted, the object 
appears black when it is cold. * However, a black body emits a 
temperature-dependent spectrum 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum>of light. 
Thisthermal radiation 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation>from a black body is 
termed*blackbody radiation*. In the blackbody spectrum, the shorter the 
wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the higher frequency is 
related to the higher temperature. Thus, the color of a hotter object is 
closer to the blue end of the spectrum and the color of a cooler object 
is closer to the red."

See *. So your argument carries no weight, as we are talking about black 
material not black body, and as described above thermal radiation is 
negligible # from a black surface.
