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 about to defend a category error. "Wetness" isn't a property water possesses, it's a property water *creates*. Water makes other surfaces wet by adhering to them. Water itself is a liquid, yes, but liquidity and wetness are fundamentally different. A surface is wet when water clings to it against gravity. Water doesn't cling to itself that way, it flows right through itself. You're confusing the medium with the effect it produces. So before you even start, admit the real question: does the term "wet" even apply to the substance that defines wetness? That's your actual problem to solve.
