"On a molecular level, these holes are big enough for water vapor to pass through, but small enough that liquid water molecules can’t fit through the same holes"

Which suggests... what? That water molecules are smaller when they are in a gaseous state than they are in a liquid state?

This statement is so incorrect it defies imagination. The atomic mass of a water molecule does not change when it goes into gaseous form - it doesn't shed a hydrogen or an oxygen atom and then somehow find it again on the other side of the Goretex membrane.

That's just the first thing I found glancing through it, I'm not going to bother reading it in depth. Sorry :-)
