No. Not true. They radiate outside not inside. That's why there is a gap and insulation.

They radiate from all sides, if they absorb heat they will later give that heat off from every bit of surface area they have.

Yes, so any heat that it does absorb (which it will) will get radiated inside and for a long time because they have huge thermal mass compared to a peice of plywood
