While I understand, and basically support, the intention behind the ‘water isn’t wet, it make other things wet’ idea… you done gone and invoked pedantry, so…
And since the statement you got pedantic in response to was…
Unless it’s one molecule of water, on its own and isolated, then most of the time when water is encountered, the vast majority of the molecules are, indeed, “covered or saturated with water”—the other molecules around each of them. Thus, while each molecule of water is making everything around it a little ‘wetter’, each of them is, itself, ‘wet’.
If, y’know, we’re being pedantic.
