You are far from an idiot. I once took a tropical trip around a fairly burley headland with no PFD. It was a hundred F air temps and rolling made you warmer. I wanted airflow on my body. A PFD was not in the cards those ten days. I wear one all the time around here, for various reasons, body armor, gear caddy, floatation, etc. I'm firmly in the PFD camp, except when it makes sense when you would be better off without one on an hourly basis.
