      So a person doesn’t have to be physically present and interacting with something in order to know the physical properties of it.

        I think it might be wet somewhere. But I am not there, and I cannot know unless I am there to experience the essence of wetness.

          I’m not going to put much faith into an argument on “what is wet” from someone who isn’t sure if a rock on the bottom of a pond is wet unless they reach in and touch it.

            I’m not going to allow my eyes to become wet over someone who doesn’t understand that everything has been a joke.
