Dew Point perception maybe misleading #413

Hello, first of all A BIG THANKS for this collection of interpretations for climate control.

I stumbled over this, that "Dew Point Perception" returned "A bit dry for certain people" for a Dew Point of 8 deg. C. That would be true at high temperatures but not at typical indoor temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius ?

I stumbled over this for a RH over 50% which is on the high side of many health recommendations.

Where does this interpretation of Dew Point Perception come from? The Wikipedia page about Dew Point is mentioned, but it does not talk about perception.
