That's my main beef!
There is a pretty sizeable contingent of people who simply MUST have a breeze blowing on them at all times to be comfortable. And I'm one of them. I sleep with a box fan running (and pack one for ALL trips - I have a 220V one for Europe and a 110V one for the US). My office has a ceiling fan and so does my seating position in the Living room. I've got to have air movement or it feels stuffy, regardless of the temperature.
The designers, of course, view ceiling fans NOT as cooling devices but as "regretable kitsch" which MUST be disposed of. None of them must be in that segment of society that craves breezes. To them, a ceiling fan = pink yard flamingo. They utilitarian purpose seems never to have dawned on them. I saw one show where the first words out of a homeowners mouth during the reveal was "Where's my G*d D8mned CEILING FAN?!?!" They bleeped him, mercifully.
