Yes.
> If your hand is submerged in a liquid that will not cling to your skin at all, is your hand “wet” while it is still submerged?
No. If you submerge your hand in mercury you will not get wet. The same if you coat you hand in aerogel. It is empirical fact that people do not describe this situations as being wet.
Tangent: To what extent is that evolutionary? Wetness being a unique feeling could be, that we have evolved a greater sensory capacity to experience water, due to its abundance and importance.
Thus other words for touch (in English) generalise across a variety of sensory experiences (sticky, slimy, hard, etc.) where as wetness is specific to fluids that behave like water.
If I had a point, I guess it would be that maybe wetness is a especially unique experience. I don’t know whether this makes it a better or worse example to use.
Then, having worn a nitrile glove while putting my hand in water before, I doubt that Bob would experience wetness.
Easily tested at home.
The glove provides quite a good approximation.
