Yep.

Specific volume of steam at 80 C: 3.40527 m^3 / kg
Expansion ratio at 80 C: 3306.1:1
Vapor pressure of steam at 80 C: 47.4 kPa

So you don't understand the properties of saturated steam. That's okay, it's hard to wrap your head around it at first, especially if you did not take college-level thermodynamics.

My prediction ... you'll back away from your very bold claim above in some way ... but maybe I'm wrong ... you tell me.
I wouldn't say that maybe you're wrong. I would say that you simply don't understand how water behaves.
