    I would say this still works.

    Assuming we are not compressing it, you cannot fit more water into water. Therefore, water is saturated with itself. Therefore, it is soaked. Therefore, it is wet.

        I would count a grouping of water as having absorbed itself personally. But either way, it technically can’t absorb any more water, so it is always at the absorption max, whether that’s 0% or 100% water.

          I’m prepared to admit water is wet if you’re prepared to admit every non-absorbent material is perpetually wet since it can’t absorb any more water.

            Ok fair point on the 0%. I guess it does depend on whether you consider water to have absorbed itself or not for soaked.
