Shaft, I can understand where you're coming from, though I think you're argument is still flawed. I shall try and explain.
I have shown above (at least I think I have) that higher flow would give you greater capacity to remove heat from the water stream (NOT per unit water) per minute. As such, much heat will be transferred into the fins of the radiator. Now, provided you are still blowing air of the same temperature through, the Temperature difference between the air and the radiator fins will be greater. This in turn will create a larger temperature gradient which will induce a greater flux of heat from the rad to the air.
You have to try and visualise the whole system, rather than individual packets of water.
If you're still unsure, just keep firing questions, cos I'm pretty sure you won't be the only one. It might develop into a nice thread to refer people to.
Airspirit, would you like me to conitnue this in a new thread, as we seem to have hijacked your discussion?
