have slightly different dependencies on humidity.

A decent idea when conceived, wind chill has turned into little more
than something the TV weather idiots can scream about.  Being a
subjective scale, it has little to do with science.

This will be news to the wet bulb thermometer and those using evaporative

John!, John!, JOHN you are over your head on this one.

Not related to the wind chill effect but the above statement certainly would be news to the wet bulb thermometer and the Lister Bag.
