160C or 150C is a much better temperature for something like a roast.

Eeeeeewww! Then it would be cooked all the way through! That would be horrible.

Seared on the outside, rare in the middle. It is The One True Way.

I find most people I know think a roast is something you stick in the oven for hours, baste it occasionally, let it rest and hope it doesn't come out dry and nasty. The lower heat helps it not dry out as much.

But I agree with you, a nice sear and a little bit of hot oven time is really all that's needed. :)
