"It has a fan, but the fan is useless" is worse than merely having a useful fan :/.

Also worse than no fan, since you could fill that space with battery if there wasn't a fan there.

Yep. The only saving grace is that it takes a loong time for the fan to finally kick in, it's pretty much impossible to make it run with anything less than 100% CPU load, and even then it takes a few minutes to kick in.
