All of what you say is quite true, but the colour temperature must be taken
in conjunction with the CRI, which for a CFL is less than the ideal of 95 -
100, by quite a margin. It is this shortcoming, rather than the colour
temperature, which gives rise to the 'sick' quality of the light, no matter
how close it is to matching daylight, at any time of the day, in terms of
colour temperature.

This page makes it quite clear why there is such a subjective difference:
