I haven't seen such claims.

It appears that they've already had such limited success communicating 'straight' climate science as it is, that there'd be no point in additional hypotheticals as obtuse as this thought experiment.
A simplification might be:
Comparing the 'warmth' one would feel, wearing a 'black' T-shirt on Earth, at its present orbital distance, to what one would feel wearing a 'white' T-shirt, on Earth moved within the Venusian orbit.
You'd feel the same thing.
