Water is not wet. Human lacks water sensor. All the sensors we have a temperature ones so we sense "wet" as a combination of temperature and visual information. Close your eyes, touch water of your skin temperature and you won't sense it. It's not wet.
Stick your head in it and breathe. You'll know.
Not only is that statement not true, as noted by others, it's also not at all relevant to what you're responding to.
What? Why isn't it true? You're saying you couldn't tell if a liquid entered your lungs?
Sand too, even when dry. But OK, metaphors have limits.
There exist lots of non-wetting liquids in which humans cannot breathe.
By that definition, a vacuum is wet.
Fog, clouds, steam, ice.
