How will leaving the fans on cause over cooling, in comparison to the airflow of doing 70-80mph on the motorway?

Tbh it only happened on mine due to a sticky thermostat but during town driving, it will never heat up enough. Dont forget, the fans arent just cooling the radiator. There is also a fair bit of heat being carried away from the external faces of the engine when the fans are on full chat. Mine had been down to 60 degrees stable during the winter which is far too cold!
