It's hard to see how you could have come up with an understanding of the 
behaviour of water without having come across those words. If you really 
don't know what they mean, then it's time to learn some stuff rather 
than just spouting nonsense.

There are a lot of stupid responses on this NG and a lot of inane responses, but rarely do we see them combined.

Fun fact: Because the high-energy particles evaporate out of the liquid, the average kinetic energy of the liquid never reaches that of its surroundings. The liquid is always slightly colder.

Ultimately, I'm not sure whether this guy is just outright trolling, or 
is exhibiting the symptoms of a delusion whereby he'll avoid pursuing 
any path that would threaten that delusion.

Either way, there's really no point in discussing it with him.

Welcome to psychiatry. :)

STP conditions imply a temperature of 0 ?C, at which the ability of
water to become vapor is very restricted. Its concentration in air is
very low at 0 ?C. The red line on the chart to the right is the
maximum concentration of water vapor expected for a given
temperature. The water vapor concentration increases significantly as
the temperature rises, approaching 100% (steam, pure water vapor) at
100 ?C. However the difference in densities between air and water
vapor would still exist.

Really?  Gee golly.  What differences, per se?  Can you provide details?  Or are these details in one of Bodkins lost textbooks?

How is the textbook on Human Physiology, 7th edition, by Silverthorn, 
(with chapter references provided twice to you) lost?

Do you routinely lose things that were told to you just a while ago?

Is this the source of your problem?

If I don't dispute steam table and you don't dispute steam table then, it would seem, there is nothing to discuss.

you don't know what a steam table is.

if you think you do, produce it.

now.
