The article mentions but doesn’t do a good enough job explaining at high temperatures and low humidity a fan can remove sweat faster than your body can supply it. Making excessive fan speeds counter productive and actually increasing body temperatures, ie there’s humidity + temperatures where low works better than high and edge cases where even low is counterproductive.
This flips with supplemental water which once again makes faster fan speeds useful up to significantly higher temperatures. Obviously there’s another limit as a mister alone can’t lower a rocket engine exhaust to be comfortable.
Net result a lot of seemingly contradictory recommendations shown in the article.
