What is this nonsense, heat is dissipated by radiation, convection or
conduction so how come efficiency becomes a problem.

For conventional central heating radiators most heat-loss is through
convection. Air is a poor conductor.

It seems there is less overall air flow for a tall radiator than long
for a radiator with the same area and construction.

So hardly nonsense.




Try telling that to the female who has decided that "we need" vertical
