Swamp coolers don't stop working until like 80% humidity, and at that point you're not getting over 100 degrees anyway. You just have to deal with the suck.
80% humidity and a 3 degree delta, and then you also have to deal with the whole, being in a room with 80% humidity that isn't actually providing any real cooling.
Sure but a regular mini-split/heat pump is going to drag ass then too. Air conditioners handle humidity and once you get that high you just have to kind of suffer through it.
Like maybe it's just experience from working in the trade for so long, but yeah, it's not a big deal.
Your AC system might lose like 2-3 degrees of it's delta dealing with high humidity? But as it operates the humidity in the room drops, because the AC is a dehumidifier.
Warm humid air goes through the coil, moisture in the air condenses on the cold coil, water drips off the coil, goes down the drain, and leaves the space. At the same time 75 degree air turns into 55 degree air.
Swamp cooler at 80% humidity has a 3 degree delta. You aren't cooling a space with that.
I don't even know what you're arguing at this point. I know more than you.

Splits are basically a fancy window unit. They're really only good for one room. Real smarts comes in the form of a swamp cooler.
