What annoys me about that phrasing, is that "how water feels" is quite relevant to how humans feel.

The obvious example is that if it's below 0°C, it starts freezing, which causes slippery sidewalks, snow, dry air, all that stuff.
But just in general having a feeling how much water will evaporate and later precipitate at certain temperatures, and even stuff like how hot beverages and cooking temperatures are, it's all still relevant for humans...

Humans are mostly water. If water boils, then humans will mostly boil too.
