Since they made that episode, Phoenix is now humid in the summer. Let that sink in. A place that has had an average of 0% humidity for the last few hundred thousand years, they’ve planted so many grass golf courses, and water them so much that it is frequently above 50% humidity. IN PHEONIX! Arrogance is correct.
Reminds me of that ship from a collapsed civilization in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy books where it had been stuck for hundreds of years awaiting a resupply of moist towelettes, with all the passengers strapped to their seats in stasis; only periodically woken up to be force-fed tea and stale biscuits.

I have been on that flight.
Also, why wait for moist owlettes?

I feel like you’ve pretty accurately captured the Adams’ logic of that situation, which is hilariously good. I was already off the rails from that:
