There is the small chance that this person grew up in a home/apartment/condo with a circulating hot water system that keeps the water in the pipes hot, or point of use water heaters? And since then has moved and didn't catch on yet? And being that this person never actually saw a water heater, never washed their hands at any public place, and just never really thought about it? OK, I'm being very optimistic, but it's possible.

Sorry, not buying it.

Sheetrock is a poor insulator and will readily transfer heat.
When you air-condition your house, EVERYTHING in it cools (eventually). That includes the air, several tons of furniture, electrical fixtures, the cat, the walls, and everything behind the walls (including pipes and wiring).

That is why HVAC folks talk about "thermal memory" The structure cools or heats as the case may be.

I was begriming to believe you until you mentioned the cat. How can that be if you don't have a cat? :-)

Of course it does. It just takes longer to cool the inside of walls than to the stuff in the middle of the room. It also takes longer to cool the middle of the room than to cool the AC ducts and the louvers where the AC air comes out.
But with enough time, it all gets cooled. Under a day, I'll bet, and then it stays that way until you let it get hotter in the house.
I don't use AC at all but most of those who do keep it cooler than that. Why are you using your unusual house as an example that's supposed to apply to every eles's? In addition, if you keep your house at 78, that's the temp inside the walls.
