How can they tell?
If the warranty sticker is intact, they can't.
Why should it matter? Having tried the towel trick myself with my old, (now dead) 360, I can safely assure that it will only fix it temporarily.
Overheating the console purposely is pointless. Anybody who has built their own computer knows how essential it is to make sure the system operates at a cool running temperature, and overheating is possibly the worst thing that can happen.
Trust me, my PSU has caught fire before. And I've killed a processor by forgetting to put the heatsink and fan on when test-booting.
I frankly don't know if they can or cannot detect these sorts of activities, but frankly, is it worth having your 360 sent back to you?
Though to be honest, it doesn't matter. If my 360 RRoD's, I'm trading it in and getting the new 60gig model.
