I understand the goal (I've been woodworking for 20+ years). Wood does not react to average humidity, it reacts to current humidity. Defects occur because of sudden changes the wood cannot "handle" (IE it's not elastic enough, etc), not because the average is too high or low. Over decades, the likelihood of that happening seems quite high.
