i disagree, to a point with this. sometimes truth can define state (for example, you yourself used in the case where you said you have "5 apples". in the case of the "wet" example there are two states. wet and dry. if you have 4 3/4 apples to me (and by the definition of five) you dont' have five. you may say 4 3/4 is enough, but technically you dont.

as i was thinking, even if you have the slightest degree of wetness you still aren't dry.

this discussion is taking an interesting turn....
