In preparing for my next batch, I am researching humidity recommendations. Research sources like PubMed and various extension agencies suggest a MUCH higher humidity percentage than is typical here at BYC. How could there be such a large discrepancy?
"Optimal relative humidity was calculated to be 48 to 52%"

"Keep relative humidity at 75 percent"
- Texas A&M Extension https://alec.unl.edu/documents/cde/2017/livestock-management/incubating-and-hatching-eggs-2017.pdf
"The relative humidity of the air within an incubator for the first 18 days should be able 60 percent"
- Penn State Extension https://extension.psu.edu/programs/...cience-of-incubation/humidity-and-ventilation
"Extensive research has shown that the optimum incubator temperature is 100°F when relative humidity is 60 percent."
-VA Tech Extension https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/bitstream/handle/10919/48447/2902-1090_pdf.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
"Relative humidity should be 60 to 65 percent for the first 18 days of incubation, and 70 percent for the last three days."
