Default Air Movement, Temperature, and Humidity

I have what I am certain must be a question which requires a bit of a subjective answer. I know that adequate air movement provides oxygen and carbon dioxide for the plants, and that Air movement and humidity work together (higher humidity generally requires more air movement), Air movement can be reduced as the temperature goes down, but not eliminated alltogether, and too much air movement without enough humidity will dry the orchid out, so, how do I find the right combination?

A grower whom I respect very much told me it was simple, just use the " I like it" test. He says, if it feels ok to you on your skin, then, it is probably within an acceptable range for the plant. I am hoping someone here can confirm this "rule of thumb".
