cool the center cylinders until Chevrolet did it with the  Corvair.

I don't believe that is what Benzinger said at all. 

 
I think he was saying that designing the Corvair engine was NOT just a  
matter of copying the VW/Porsch 4-cylinder engine since adding that center  
cylinder required major changes to the way the exhaust was diverted as it  left 
the cylinders.
