Is water wet?

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

No, because water is liquid and liquid MAKES things wet

You're confusing causation with definition. Liquids don't *make* things wet, they *are* the condition for wetness. Water itself cannot be wet because wetness requires water's presence on a surface to exist. A single water molecule isn't wet. Water creates the state of wetness in other materials, but that's categorically different from being wet itself. You've just proven water is the *agent* of wetness, not a participant in it. So your argument actually undermines your position. Can water make itself wet without external contact?
