Dismissive of what?! The possibility he's not feeling a cooling effect?

You can spin all you want, but I can't see how him saying "this works for me because...." is dismissive of anything other than the negation of it working for him.

According to you, I was the one whose point was being dismissed here, and I can't for the life of me figure out why you think I should feel that way.

BTW, if we're really going to think about it, I'm pretty sure the ambient temperature, winds, and/or humidity is probably going to affect what that speed is more than anything about how we train, but life is too short for such pieces of trivia.
