The pad can overheat, reduce it's coefficient of friction and still generate more heat.
Secondly, pad thickness is related to heat transfer. Thin pads will transfer more heat to the piston.
Thirdly, even if you don't fry the boots the first time out, the multiple heat cycles will weaken the material until it goes kaput.
The final problem, which is really really bad is if the caliper is sticking. It will overheat the crap outta the pads and cause the boot to fry as a result. Beentheredonethat, too.
