A field, practice, or body of knowledge can reasonably be called pseudoscientific when it is presented as consistent with the norms of scientific research, but it demonstrably fails to meet these norms. Assertion of claims that a theory predicts something that it has not been shown to predict. 2  Scientific claims that do not confer any predictive power are considered at best conjectures, or at worst pseudoscience (e.g. Ignoratio elenchi).
Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water. In other words, the water in the air, a gas known as water vapor, from your hot shower cooled when it met the surface of the cold mirror. This caused the water vapor to condense, or turn into its liquid form.
Condensation is a process that releases latent heat into the atmosphere, warming the air. Therefore, this heat released counteracts some of the adiabatic cooling that continues to take place as the air rises, and the net effect is a rate of cooling that is reduced. This is the saturated (or moist) adiabatic lapse rate.
