If that is what you believe then you are free to make an argument to that effect.  You can present it here on this forum.  I guarantee you I will respond--maybe the controversy will draw more attention to my hypothesis, along those lines I think I will drop a link here and now.  Thanks again for your participation:

at what pressure ?, and what gas is it evaporating into ?
you should review "vapor pressure",

you will find it works differently than you are thinking, it is a 
equliberium point where atoms of liquid water leave the surface and go 
into the air, and an equal # of atoms of water return into the liquid.
think of a closed jar with some water in it.  And think about "pressure" 
the dimention of these problems you have been missing all this time, how 
much pressure does water exert on its container?

Bonus Questions:
What if you raise the temperature?
what happens to pressure inside?  Why ?
By how much ? (wiki for equations)

Does not matter the temperature and pressure, but the saturation of the 
surrounding environment, say air. If the humidity is 100% then no 
evaporations takes place. Otherwise always.

It is not related to environment saturation.
It is not attribute of air, but of water itself.

For given temperature and partial vapour pressure
equal to saturated one, rate of condensation
reaches rate of evaporation, as it is dynamic process.

If vapour pressure reaches external pressure,
liquid starts boiling, as external pressure is not able
to prevent vapour bubbles to be created.

So you mean that humidity can go above those 100%. Why aren't continue 
posting in sci.physics.research, a place where you are allowed, without

In fact it can, being not stable stable

You can continue to post in sci.physics,
if you do not fear to be called stupid.

If there is maintained equilibrium
between liquid and gaseous phase,
the relative humidity does not go above 100%.

As above 100%, rate of condensation
is higher than rate of evaporation.

But if the gaseous phase with 100% humidity* gets cooled down,
and if there is lack of condensation centres withing gaseous phase
like dust or droplets, vapour get routinely oversaturated.

It is similar as
when liquid can be temporarily overheated above boiling point,
or overcooled below freezing point.

Note that all these states are not stable, but waits for opportunity
to be changed to stable state.

* regardless on if other gases than water vapour are present or not

There is no gaseous phase in earth's atmosphere.

It is more complicated than just this.  Water vapor in the atmosphere is maybe the most poorly understood subject in all of science.  Meteorology is clueless, by design.  physicists have their heads up there asses on this subject.

There is no gaseous H2O in the atmospher, you moron.  Stop pretending you understand what you don't.

incoherent.

Otherwise it will? I can see you are not afraid of being called stupid. Go 
back and do research in sci.physics.research, a place where nobody ever 
will call you stupid.
