> that's just rationalizing
That's not called for.
> you're sitting uncomfortably for 10-15 minutes waiting for that temperature to be reached
It doesn't take that long, and you can compromise by hitting yourself with some of the full-power cooling until the cabin reaches a comfortable temperature.
> heat transfer is what makes you feel cool/warm, not temperature, and air flow promotes convection (as well as conduction).
Heat transfer yes, but everywhere on the body. You can't just look at the total.
