A clear understanding of the transport of heat in a tokamak has continued to allude workers in the field for many years. One problem that has given particular cause for concern is the apparent insensitivity of the electron temperature profile in some experiments to changes in the heating profile. Various concepts have been put forward to try and explain this apparent insensitivity, such as profile consistency and resiliency, inward heat flows (pinches), and, more recently, a suggestion that the variables that describe local transport are not just gradients of temperature and density but some other so far unidentified variable. In this paper it will be shown for the particular conditions of an off-axis ICRH experiment on JET that the temperature does respond to the heating profile and that the total heat flux can be adequately described by Pick's Law q a ­nT. In this particular case there is no need to invoke any additional heat flow of a non-diffusive nature to explain the transport of heat. The experiment involves the production of both positive and negative heat flux q and in both cases Pick's law is a reasonable representation of the data.
