It seems contrary to me too. When I set an oven temperature, I'd rather
not have an oven second guess what temperature I should be using.
Changing two variables when using the convection settings tends to make
things unclear but I don't roast/bake by time anyway so any time savings
are lost to me. I plan on using the convection settings more often so
hopefully, I'll get more of a feeling for that in the future.
