I disagree!
It seems to me that the slow people are the first ones to populate any new expression medium (like message boards and "I was here first" threads).

Yes, because it really borthers me when i cant find a logical explanation of why a rule is the way it is, but thanks to kreynolds for giving one. But i still feel than there should be some sort of penalty to reflex throws, while wearing heavy armor. But i wont rule it in my game

I think heavy armor does give you a penalty wherever it should:
The max Dex bonus to AC makes you slower and less likely to get you out of the way of the attack. Usually that is no problem, as they will have to get through that armor in order to hurt you, but if you're subject to a touch attack, you have problems!
The armor check penalty impedes your skill use. Also applying a max Dex bonus would penalize you twice for having a heavy armor.
Reflex saves aren't impeded. As said before, you can't get as far out of the way as guy in lighter armor, but maybe far enough so your armor will protect you enough to soften up the attack.
