Only if another demonstration is done with no input (closed loop). Otherwise it's still extremely interesting because, if this measurement was botched as badly as it seems, we really need to ask /why/. These guys are experts in calorimetry; they /must/ know how to tell, for real, if steam is dry or not, and they /must/ know what the limitations of using a RH meter to measure steam quality are. And surely they know how important the question of its dryness is. This is almost like they just went through the motions of measuring the quality of the steam, even though they must have known the measurement wouldn't tell them anything. It seems like they provided the appearance of making a measurement, without really doing it. So, why would they do that?
