I never got it either. I think they're just contrarians. They just want to feel like they discovered something novel that all the people before them got wrong so they can indulge in pedantic arguments about it.
That is, when it's not engagement baiting like the tweet above.
Possibly. Some do, I'm sure.
I see a lot of people try to answer brainteaser questions like this as if they can be driven down to some scientific ultimatum, but science can't answer questions of philosophy. "Wet" is something we made up. A towel doesn't care if it's "damp" or not. How could it?
