As far as the steam, how could there be any disagreement, unless someone was
either blind, or stupid? :-) It happens right before your eyes (and
fingers). You can see and feel the steam being redirected toward your
ceiling fan, where it'll cause normally dry dust to become a more permanent
sludge. The only major advantage to such a fan is that it sends steam away
from your kitchen cabinets, which are much more expensive to replace than
the fan blades.
