Lower temperatures mean slower rehydration and fewer cells surviving the process. The yeast are basically going from dead to alive and the timing of the process is critical.
 
so if that is the case, what would the difference in pitch rate of viable yeast be when pitching yeast re hydrated at cooler temps or sprinkling dry yeast directly on wort?
