Probably shouldn't try getting into the argument but here goes anyway.

Relative wind, no seizure, ram airflow. Windmilling. Hence the term.
There is enough airflow through the compressor section driving the oil pump, to the prop governor, to keep the blades towards fine.
If not, please explain the windmill start procedure!

I'd say go and try it- but not in a 4 blader because the drag sucks!

Conned, please leave the discussion to those who know what they are talking about.
