If you pour a quart of red dye into a lake, why does the area you have 
poured the dye into immediately turn red, but the lake, including the area 
the dye was poured into, doesn't after it's disbursed a bit?

This is why I tell folks that they are wasting their time with a free 
standing room humidifier in a house where the air is circulating through 
the entire house. A house that will absorb and dissipate 10+ gallons of 
water a day isn't going to be controllably humidified by a gallon a day 
room humidifier standing next to the piano.
