Wow, this article as-is blows, but I don't understand what wetting is enough to fill it in more. :(

[edit] Cold welding
Would it be safe to say that wetting is a liquid equivalent of cold welding in that both occur when the surface of one material bonds to that of the other chemically rather than simply being pressed next to eachother? —BenFrantzDale 17:08, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

citing: "If the surface is high energy, it will want to be covered with a liquid because this interface will lower its energy, and so on."
As for the first clause, what does this mean - "If the surface is high energy". Furthermore, how does this follow: "... it will want to be covered with a liquid because..."? Since when do surfaces have minds of their own? How does a surface want something?
