The explanation in the article does not make sense to me unless it's talking about window units. Ducted systems do not cool the outside air so the amount of temperature drop in the air passing through is not relevant. As long as it can cool faster than the air is being heated inside it can drop the inside temperature to the temperature of the coil, which is unlikely to be set at 80 degree in your case.

I can't find a single article saying anything else. The 20-25 degree maximum temperature drop seems to be everywhere which leads me to think it must be true but I don't understand why. I'm trying to find out what happens if you go oversized on a variable speed system and can't find any information.
