Yeah, but that's usually what people are actually thinking of when they say "moving air cools better". It's not really the air moving, it's the evaporation, but the average person doesn't necessarily know that.

Moving air does actually cool better without evaporation. The air just has to be colder than the thing. That’s why your computer has fans.
