Right this is your (unproven) premise.  I say the weight of this moist air is higher but the lift is lower due to the increase in energy absorbtion associated with the increased moisture.

It does.  More water equates to more energy absorptions.

I understand aerodynamic better than you.  The energy that pushes a wing comes from air pressure.

It's regrettable the internet doesn't allow you to drop a link to your imagination.

Well, the reverse, actually.  I said the reduced density of moist air is
why lift is reduced.

Your unproven anecdotes conflict with actual science.

There are many universities with aeronautical engineering and meteorology
curriculum that prove it many times over to their students.

Provide the physics behind this claim, how a moving wing provides
energy to your mythical water droplets.

Hardly.  Not if you don't even know the density of humid air or how
wings work.

I knew you would never believe that.  Sorry, but that was a couple decades
ago so I no longer have notes.

The demonstration had several parts, a sealed container was measured when
containing alternately vacuum, dry air, humid air, helium, CO2 and a heavy
gas (don't remember what, may have been argon or a freon (hey, this was
when releasing freons in the air was OK!) or something.  All (except
the vacuum) was at STP.  They may have done pressurized measurements as
well, I don't remember.

And without delicate instruments: A full scuba tank is noticeably heavier
than an empty one.  Full is about 3,000 PSI so its air is 200 times denser
than atmospheric.  So a "sensitive" scale really needs to be only about
200 times more sensitive than a bathroom scale to give meaningful results.
It's easy to measure air density.

To anyone else interested:  One of the gas laws for an ideal gas is
that for a particular pressure, temperature and volume, the number of
molecules of gas is constant.  (PV = nRT)  Air is mostly nitrogen and 
oxygen, and its average molecular weight is 29. (N2 is 28, O2 is 32).
If air contains water vapor, some of the air molecules will be displaced
by water H2O molecules.  H2O has a molecular weight of 18.  This is why
the density of humid air is reduced.  If such things as (H2O)n dropplets
existed but were small enough to act as a gas, humid air would be more
dense and wings would work better in humid air.  Even (H2O)2 (MW=36) would 
make air denser.  That is your science lesson for the day.

Right, this is your (unproven) premise. As I stated.

So, why do you think they are hiding this evidence from you?

Prove me wrong. (Look it up.) You need to take responsibility 
for your own education.

I am an expert in aerodynamics. The air foil reduces the pressure 
on the top of the wing.  The pressure on the bottom of the wing 
is where energy is extracted from the atmosphere.  You can 
extract less energy from moist air because H2O absorbs much 
of it. (Do research on high heat capacity of H2O.) Density is 
a factor, as you suggest.  But it is not the only factor.  The 
myth is 1) that the moisture in moist air is gaseous H2O.  
It isn't. it's liquid droplets.  And, 2) that the reduced lift 
associated with moist air demonstrates that moist air is less 
dense. All other factor being the same, moist air is actually 
heavier than dry air because the microdroplets are heavier (weight/volume) than the N2 and O2 that they replace.  

Your misconception stems from the plainly dimwitted belief that 
H2O turns to gaseous H2O when it evaporates.  This myth 
persists because meteorologist's models contain this assumption 
and they don't want the public to figure out that they are a 
bunch of nitwits when it comes to understanding storms and other 
aspects of atmospheric flow. So they protect the perceived 
validity of their models by keeping the public in the dark about 
the fact that the atmosphere is too cool to support gaseous H2O. 
So the issue is very political and more entrenched than global
warming BS. (I bet you believe in global warming too, right?)

BTW, air pressure, not convection, is the engine of atmospheric 
flow. So, the true nature of atmospheric flow has more to do 
with the jet age (aerodynamics) than it does the hot air 
balloon age (convection). (See my other posts on this NG for 
details.)  Meteorology is living in the past.

I knew your experiment was imaginary.

Listen, you imbecile, for what you are saying to be true 
we would have to imagine that H2O turned to steam (gaseous 
H2O) when it evaporates.  That is plainly absurd.  There 
is no steam, gaseous H2O, in earth's atmosphere. It is all microdroplets/clusters. It is evaporate, not steam.

True, but irrelevant.  Our atmosphere is too cool to support 
steam.  You about have to have your head up your ass for 
this not to be obvious.

wrong, and after these many years, still stupid wrong.

H2O is 10.6% less dense than Heavy Water.
your brain is 11 % less dense too.

Clouds, that have visible droplets and are, therefore, 
indisputuably more dense than dry air.  According to your dimwitted theory aircraft should have increased lift in clouds.  We might even expect pilots to be looking for clouds to go skipping across the atmosphere.  But the don't.  You want to know why?  Because lift is reduced in clouds, you idiot.  You theory is nonsense.  You are a simpleton that can't work out a mildly complex notion.  Like a moron all you can do is repeat the one thing you know.

what if they have the same density ?

As I recall, you do not know what *"density"* is.

that is your statement

if clouds were more dense, they would go to a lower level where it is 
denser.


but you dont know, what density is,

because you are exceptionally dense, or pretend to be, troll.

Actually, no.  Clouds form when warm, humid air, which is less dense, 
rises.  As it rises, it cools to the dewpoint and the water starts 
condensing out, forming the cloud.  Note that this point, the humidity
is 100% (else microdroplets wouldn't form/would immediately evaporate) so
the air itself is at the lowest density it can be for that temperature/
pressure.

The microdroplets, while tiny, are too large to act as a gas.  Also, there
is only about 1 gram of water per cubic meter of cumulus clouds.

Uh, no. The reason you can see them is the scattering of light from the 
water drops. If helium had surface tension and held together in little 
bubbles, it would scatter too.
