Not only is that statement not true, as noted by others, it's also not at all relevant to what you're responding to.

Oh, so if you stick your head in a liquid and breathe you wouldn't know?

Sticking your head into non-liquid substances can have the same outcome. It therefore is not a suitable method for detecting wetness.

I'm not talking about outcome, but of sensing. I also never wrote it was a suitable method. When did that become a requirement?

I kist thought it was interesting that there are receptors that can detect wetness, just not on the skin. It was a joke pointing that out.

Fuck.
