I used to think the same thing about my basement until I started to actually measure and record temperatures in the basement on a regular, periodic basis. That's when I came to realize that the basement temp actually did change. However, it was always a comfortable margin cooler than the rest of the house.

This is really a cheap straightforward hack. Way to go!
It would be useful for us all, if you kept a log of the upstairs temps and also the basement temps. A data logger would be nice, but a notebook with date & time & temps can go a long way.
