Overheard a barista say something about water temp that blew my mind

I was at a shop in Portland last weekend and this guy at the counter said most people brew way too hot. He said 200 degrees instead of 212 makes a huge difference for lighter roasts. I went home and tried it with my old kettle, just letting it sit 30 seconds after boiling. The cup was smoother and not bitter at all. Anyone else try adjusting water temp and notice a big change?
