Yup. Don't argue about defining terms, just ask the defining terms people.
Merriam-Webster:
a : consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water)
American Heritage:
1. Covered or soaked with a liquid, such as water: a wet towel.
OED:
1. Covered or saturated with water or another liquid.
Ironically, most dictionaries have fish and submarines easily wet, but don't do a great job of handling the situation where you just get a few drops of rain on you, when you're a little bit wet. They use "covered with," which to me suggests they're only talking about when you're thoroughly wet or submerged.
He laid out what he believes to be the defining term/condition of wet in his mind, and that's what I'm saying is bogus. He's saying completely submerging something means it's not wet. That makes no sense and there is not a single definition I could find that supports that assertion.
