Is it true that DOT4 actually has a higher boiling point than 5.1?

The DOT is not just temps but also viscosity, 5.1 being thinner. No advantage to that as brakes are fine with DOT 4. Waiting to be corrected.

it is true that some DOT4 fluids have higher boiling points than some 5.1 fluids, and that some 5.1 fluids have higher boiling points than some DOT4 fluids
