Is water wet?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is water wet?". Your opponent's style: Socrates

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

You're asking the wrong question. "Is water wet?" assumes wetness is a property water possesses, but wetness is actually a *description of how other surfaces interact with water*. Water makes things wet. Water itself cannot be wet, because wetness requires an external liquid to coat a surface. A single substance in isolation has no state called "wet." You're confusing the *cause* with the *effect*. So the real debate isn't whether water is wet, it's whether you understand what wetness actually means. Can you defend that basic category error, or will you scramble to redefine wetness on the fly?
