I was just telling my fam about the irrational German lunacy of discriminating some kinds of air... pros at Lüften but even in a medical center mess hall my request to open window met grumbles - it'd 'blow stuff around.' what stuff? napkins? and forget a healthy breeze on a train
personally I think it goes back to some truly medieval nonsense quackery about evil vapors, thinking the moving air is a sentient, malevolent entity, out to get you + your child if you don't put a hat on them real quick. a land of both cutting-edge science and utter superstition
