What do you think...
I'd say hot. So would ASHRAE, (Y = 1.79, with 67% of people
dissatisfied,
vs Y = 0, with 6% dissatisfied), based on 21,000 people around
the
world,
who'd prefer adding some moisture to reduce the air temp, which
might
come
from a swimming pool :-)
Imagine yourself in a 90 F office, in a dry shirt...
Still you living out of a book and do not understand the part %RH
plays
in the comfort levels.
I understand thoroughly, my good man. In this case, I'm afraid you
are
the one lacking average empirical understanding, and an
understanding
of the way surveys work.
I would have 90ºF and a 10%RH in my home before I would have 60ºF
with a 100%RH.
OK. Everyone's tastes are different. There's nothing wrong with
your
misunderstanding average human behavior. It's a matter of surveys
and
preferences, vs absolute science. But you must admit facts. It's
hard
to deny the average tastes of 21,000 people around the world :-)
Nick
Do those 21,000 people from around the world reflect your tastes?
In a properly done study, they most likely would.
No way, no how.
NO survey of 'people from around the world' is going to
reflect AMERICAN standards and preferences, any more than an identical
durvey of Americans will reflect the standards and preferences
prevalent in other countries.
In that case, you don't understand how studies work.
Bzzt. Wrong. No study of, for instance, the French, will
indicate American standards, nor the other way around.
For instance, here in America we take bath every day.
And the French tend to bathe and shower more than Americans. But most
Americans don't know that. It still has nothing to do with anything I said.
Also, if you read what I wrote, I agreed completely that no study of the
French would indicate American standards and a properly done study would
show that.
I said that in a
properly done study, it would reflect your tastes. You said no way. So
either you believe that a study can be proper (i.e. the conclusion is
correct) but wrong at the same time, or your statement is wrong.
Try not to spew nonsense, most especially if you're going to
attribute it to me..
But it was your nonsense. I'd suggest you go to a college book store and
buy an introduction to logic book. You can even take a course in it, and if
you manage to get through it, we can continue this conversation.
