Medium rare for rack of lamb is 125 to 130, not 140. 140 would be on the very high side of medium rare and I wouldn't chance it. If anything, lamb is ok on the lower side vs. the higher side. I cooked mine to 125 then took it out of the over and covered it loosely with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes. It was a perfect medium rare.
And by the time the meat rested under the foil for 10 minutes, the temp was around 140, genius.

A rack of lamb resting for 10 minutes will bring the temperature up 5 degrees..not 15.

Not to mention...if your theory is correct, then by cooking it to 140 and letting it rest, it would be 150. Welcome to your ruined rack of lamb.

If you're going to try to put someone in their place, you should know what you're talking about.
