Before discounting it, I think the article has some very interesting, non-obvious conclusions. Fundamentally that, in humid conditions, fans are more effective at higher temperatures, while in drier conditions, since most of the sweat on you will already have evaporated away, fans in dry environments are only useful up to a lower temp, as after that they act like a convection oven. The article did mention some studies spritzed participants with water, but didn't seem like they tested it across all possible conditions. Seems like spritzing yourself with water even in a dry environment would make a fan still a benefit at higher temps, given the proposed explanations in the article.
