But really it is much better for human temperatures.

It's just intuitive, 0F is 100% cold, and 100F is 100% hot.

When the dry bulb gets above 100F, wind only cools you down by sweat evaporation, and when the wet bulb gets above 100F, even that can't cool you down, and you will die if you don't get to a cooler or drier environment.

I love it when it's -10% hot in winter nights or 110% hot around the equator. Makes perfect sense.

Yes, it does, actually, if you understand how thermal energy works.
