I guess he's saying that the expansion of the gas as it leaves the nozzle
could cause adiabatic chilling of the air to the point that moisture
condenses out and rains on your film. It's a beautiful and logical theory
which isn't a problem in practice, though who knows, it may be if you scan
in the rainforest where humidity is absurd. OTOH you'd need to blow the
fungus off the film somehow... :)
