It is a long history lesson involving the the dawn of AC and single speed belted fans. Coles notes: the thermostat operator can choose to run the fan or AC. This is important today because with ECM motors, it is advantageous to run the fan.

No because, as you stated a few posts back, he would not be able to set the stat to cool and auto.

Look closer at that diagram, "NC C NO" stands for relay and this brand of HRV has one built in. Therefore, he does need the relay. The HRV may have one though.
