Mr. Calliger,

    Apparently your are mixing water penetration or permeable  with
condensation. For your edification, here is the applicable dictionary
definition of condensation:

               Condensation
               2b : the conversion of a substance (as
               water) from the vapor state to a denser
               liquid or solid state usu. initiated by a
               reduction in temperature of the vapor
               (C)1997, 1996 Zane Publishing, Inc.  All
               rights reserved.



Condensation is something different than water penetrating through a
somewhat porous material.
Ground cloth under the tent may reduce the quantity of water from
outside the tent that penetrates into the tent; however such penetration
is not condensation.
