Trust me, I did not come to this "sloppy thinking " readily. If I had it my way I'd have a hygrometer that was calibrated to within an inch of it's life.
AKA, I think it is just not necessary.
It reminds me of a woodworking class I took once. The instructor advised us that we could not be woodworkers without a bonafide straightedge. So, during the break I went into the woodworking store (Highland Hardware, Atlanta, GA... fabulous store BTW) and bought this 24" straightedge for about $50.00. I grimaced when paying, but thought I really needed to have it.
When I got back into the class I asked "So how do I tell if this thing is really straight?"
The instructor replied "You paid a lot of money for it didn't you?"
Lesson being, sometimes we want the assurance that we've bought ourselves a little hunk of "perfection", when a little hunk of "good enough" is all we really need.
