i do not think water is wet. if you think water is wet, convince me that water is wet. if you do not think water is wet, explain why you do not think it is wet
my approach is usually reason, but this question would have a different answer based on too many factors
mostly definitions like what's the scale of "water" or what's the definition of "wet" - we can give immediate, subjective answers to those question just to be able to answer the first one but they're also questions of similar manner
there are also different scopes of parameters other than definitions, for example the choice - is the definition of "wet" X because it was said by the person that asked the question in the first place, or is it decided inside a group of people? if it's a group, which subset of all the groups and what statistic or method was the basis of their choice?
given the very limited scope of my own opinion, defining wet as "in contact with water", water as "one or more H2O molecules", and taking an ambiguous (dependent on human capabilities) definition of contact being "of distance between one another too small to perceive with the naked eye" i conclude that water is wet in most cases, the exception being when there is just one molecule of it
@saiku: for something to become wet implies a change of properties in the object which has become wet. water does not change fundamentally in its properties when more water is added to it, which would imply to me that it is not wet
@reemo by my definitions it does become wet after you add the second molecule (the first one becoming wet with the second one), and each new one makes the subsets of all molecules that the new one comes in contact with wetter
also, funny thing with my definitions is that they imply intransitivity in molecule chains so if you stacked a 100 water molecules in a straight line on another water molecule it would be just as wet if you placed just 1 on top of it
If we're talking by definition, "wet" is anything that consists of/is covered in/is in, so the liquid can't consist of itself thus it's not wet.
There's no wrong answer, both apply, you're either practical or pragmatic.
