I used to think not insulating the garage ceiling would let the heat in the garage vent into the attic through the ceiling. I insulated the garage ceiling and found I was totally wrong. You are correct. The heat was radiating down through the ceiling and the insulation stopped that. Now my garage if the door stays closed, is about 5 degrees cooler than the outside air on a hot summer afternoon. I have my garage door insulated as well.
