Yes, that is correct. The rate at which you are converting kinetic energy to heat via friction and conducting through the rotor is much much higher than the rate at which you are convecting energy to the environment. 1-2 seconds more convection will not change that. You can do the basic calculations and find out. I did this a few months ago.
