Well I was just about to cite the International Journal of Biometeorology that found that moist air was not a better thermal conductor and they concluded that by investigating clothed versus nude men. Yep, I'm not making that up. http://www.springerlink.com/content/7258v904rn154738/

But, before I could come up with some really good punch lines to go with that, I was informed by a learned engineer that NASA concluded many years ago that there is no difference between moist and dry air in forced convection heat transfer and he was kind enough to forward me this cite. http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/ca...1984008420.pdf

I still think I'm right.
