I understand my analogy.
And water is covered in water, it is also wet just like your bathing suit.
Can water become more wet if you add more water?

So let's say that a person is standing naked. They aren't really uncovered. They're really covered by themselves.

By your definition "covered" itself loses meaning. It's supposed to mean having a layer of another thing over something. By your definition, something can be covered while standing alone and "surrounded" by nothing but itself.




No the definition works. Covered does not necessarily mean "entirely encapsulated in by 360 degrees" There can be a partial covering at 1 surface. 1 layer over something at a point.

When you use a blanket like a normal person, you are still "covered" although you are not entirely covered.

Back to your water bottle. Can you show the class these “layers” of water?

Yea go back to that post and take a look at the water in the bottle. You see all the layers. The layers of water is why the water is visible at all.

Since we're back to that water bottle, You still have not pointed out where there is water that is not contacting water?

This isn't even a refutation to my comment. Nowhere did I say that you have to be completely covered on all sides. I said that you have to be covered by a different "entity" or discrete thing. You said something can be covered by itself. It can be plainly naked but still covered by itself. As is the apparent state of water to you. Both covered and uncovered simultaneously.

What layers? I don’t see a single layer.

The water is contacting the bottle. The water isn’t touching itself.

Answer this question. How does something become wet? A liquid has to be applied to it right? Is water wet when you freeze it? You can take ice, put it on something and when it starts to melt, whatever it is placed on becomes wet.. So you can argue that water is not wet.

For water to NOT cover itself that would mean that there is no water is touching any of the water. Partially covered is still covered. refer back to my water bottle image, there is water touching water.

I'm bored so I'll take another stab.

Water wets things, I think we all agree on that. In order for it to wet something, it must be wet itself.

So where's the hole in that logic? I'm sure there is one

What is it wet with...more water?

So then I could make water more wet by adding more water?

The question isn't how do you wet water.

I'm asking how would it be possible for water to wet something if it's not wet itself?

if water touches itself, it just increases the volume. It doesn’t change a single thing about the property of the water. It doesn’t change anything. If I spray water into the ocean, it doesn’t make the ocean wetter.

Bullets shoot things, I think we all agree on that. In order for them to shoot something, they must be shot themselves.

Verb vs. adjective matters.
