There is a very simple reason why people thaw in cold water....hot water can "cook" the food. Hot water is a breeding ground for bacteria growth. The temperature is seldom hot enough to actually kill potential bacteria. Another point to consider is that if you used hot water, the surface would thaw, but the middle will likely still be frozen.
