This isn't the best interpretation. Both reducing humidity and reducing dry-bulb temperature can reduce the amount of energy in the air.
Take a look at a psychrometric chart [1]. If you hold the humidity constant and reduce dry bulb temperature, you indeed reduce the enthalpy (what I interpret you mean by 'heat'). Likewise, if you keep the dry-bulb temperature constant and reduce the humidity you also reduce the enthalpy
To your point, this is why fixed dry-bulb economizers aren't recommended in humid climates as a means of conserving air-conditioning energy by bringing in outside air but enthalpy controllers are allowed across all zones.
