Well try it and see. I'm sure you'll see the light (or lack thereof). The simpson WILL provide enough current to alter the "cold" reading. Remember the objective was to obtain the cold resistance, right? The ammount of current necessary to heat a filament a couple hundred degrees and the ammount needed to reach incadescence (sp) is vastly different. When you are trying to mentally analyze this, remember to account for radiative energy losses which go up exponentially with temperature.
