i beg to differ. it seems to me that humid and non-humid air desire to
mix by diffusion, at least. nature abhors differences in pressure and
temperature and molecular concentration. warmer air is lighter than
cooler air, so it tends to rise. humid air is lighter than dryer air, so
it tends to rise as well. so warm humid air will have a powerful urge
to rise up through little holes in a house in the winter, no?
