in the same vein, most people's behavior around heating/cooling is comically misguided and inefficient. most people believe temperature is what we're trying to control, and that's driven by how weather reports, climate controls, and even our language ("it's hot!") emphasize temperature (which isn't nefarious, and makes sense in their separate, respective domains) rather than heat transfer, which is what we're really after.
this is most evident in cars, where folks point air vents away from themselves while running the a/c (or heat) full blast, rather than pointing the vents at themselves and running at a lower speed. the former is based on the idea that the whole car's interior temperature needs to be lowered (or raised) for effective heat transfer away from (or to) the body, which is incorrect and inefficient. pointing the vents at you (on bare skin ideally) promotes heat transfer immediately instead of waiting to create a big enough temperature differential to do the same work.
