Water's wetness is upstream of anything else's wetness because you'd never say that an object with a single water molecule on its surface was wet
You also wouldn't say that a surface that could be dried by wiping wasn't wet if it had water on it, but claiming that any surface in contact with water is wet insofar as it is not water implies that.
Water is wet because we call it wet
This is actually the best argument I've heard on this.
And a hot dog is not a sandwich because most people don't call it a sandwich.
The definitions of words are based on how we use them for efficient communication. They don't exist to fit into perfectly neat, logical, consistent boxes.
Also because sandwiches are a different shape. Hotdogs are a type of taco
Hot dogs are not tacos because we don't call them tacos.
Agreed, I just like being a dick for my own amusement sometimes
I do.
We don't?
You guys call breadycocks "hot dogs"? That's weird.
Crazy, thats what I called your mom last night.
How high are you
I don't do drugs! They aggravate my mania.
If I was working at a molecular level to notice that I certainly would.
Take a grain of sand from a heap. Is it still a heap of sand? Probably.
Take another grain, then another. Keep going until it’s no longer a heap. Could take a while, but you’ll get there eventually. When exactly?
When you do, you’ve learned how much these fuzzy definitions suck.
The most formal definitions of heap generally concur that the heap would persist until it were empty.
