That was just bad writing, sorry! What I mean so say is that a thin but wide radiator is better because air can more easily travel through it. So, a cooling tower that has many shorter fins should perform better than a tower with fewer but longer fins. On the other hand, you get better convection currents with a taller unit (think chimney).
Truthfully, I don't know which effect will dominate, so I'll TRY to keep my mouth shut.
