    Intuitively, fora  dimensional lumber mill, that makes sense.   Any
celluar moisture and any surface moisture will, to a  point reduce friction,
and friction means both blade heating and blade dulling.   The moisture
probably is not enough to cause rust / corrosion on the blade.

    But what about the wood for the paper mill?
