Wrong. The Fans On limit is lower because the fans cool the temperature sensor faster than the brakes. A sensor reading of 150C shortly after turning the fans on may correspond to an actual brake temperature of double that. If you have a Fans On temperature reading of 250C it will almost certainly correspond to an actual brake temperature in excess of 300C and a subsequent RTO could lead to an exceedance of the brake energy limits.
