This article very clearly says that they tested wet-bulb conditions that are dangerous for "prolonged exposure," and they specifically reference heat stroke. Their lab can't test what would kill people. They can only test conditions that risk heat stroke. So you seem to agree with the results of the experiment, but you appear to have missed it in your eagerness to call people (not sure who, exactly) "wimps".

> call people Well, to be fair, the poster wrote the expression "«wimps from the air conditioning»", which I would judge as quite understandable in its apparently intended scope and aim. Unfortunately, the expression, pushing the idea of "buffers anytime", hides the opposite reality of the impact that undesirable conditions have on performance.
