Gotta love the ol' "Back In Africa" argument.

No - I don't think their temps and humidity are completely stable through out incubation. But I also don't think they live in tubs, get fed weekly, get taken to the vet when they get sick and I don't believe they have someone in charge of removing all of the ball eggs in Africa and sticking them in an incubator.

It has been my understanding that as domestic keepers and breeders it's kind of our job to provide optimal conditions for our animals and the offspring they produce. To me that doesn't include water dripping all over the eggs when it doesn't have to be - perhaps I am wrong - I often am.

Further -- I never did actually say that condensation was bad per se -- just that it was a sign of unstable temps -- it wouldn't be something I would personally advise a newbie trying to save eggs to strive for -- but everyone has their own way of doing things and it's good to get lots of different input.
