On the other hand, dry humor is a myth.
Tell that to a publican in a newly dry county.
Now, that's settled science.
"Dry" and "humor" are incompatible concepts. My theory is that the expression "dry humor" arose when marginally literate people heard "wry humor" and attached the closest word they knew to that sound.

For vertebrate paleontologist Mike Taylor at the University of Bristol in England, who did not take part in this research, the most exciting thing about this study is “the magnificent comprehensiveness of the work this group has done, the beautifully detailed and informative illustrations and the degree of care taken to make all their work reproducible and verifiable. It really sets a new standard. I am in awe of the authors,”
He just indicted the entire field.
