I'm the un-named guy that was so confused about this.
Just because of discomfort to my lungs and dryness of my throat,
from being in a room with over-heated air, I was fooled..

I was just going by my experience. What things feel like to me.

What feels like very dry air coming out of a heat gun or hair dryer
is actually not really dry air at all.?.

I guess hot air hand dryers in the bath rooms at the mall are heating up the
H2O on my hands and causing evaporation because the water in the heated air is warmer than the water on my hands..?..

So, breathing in hot air right from my ceramic space heater will not be breathing in dry air..
That's amazing. I've never noticed that effect.. Just wasn't paying attention.
