Was because you were downplaying the importance of the rag. The rag is more important than the water is. If you're cleaning a mess, and your choice is between water and rag, you choose the rag.
How commonly do bidet users scrub with both TP and water in a single sitting? The internet and this comment section suggests it's pretty rare.
People are choosing between bidet (water) and tp (rag), and in your analogy, you're saying the sensible choice is to wash something with only water and no rag. Your analogy only holds water (lol) if you don't actually think about it.
Is that clear enough for you?
No, my point has always been that you wouldn't try to clean anything with a dry rag, so bidets make more sense than toilet paper. My example was putting peanut butter on watermelon and wiping it with toilet paper, you'd still expect it to smell like peanut butter, would you not? IYou took it to have some meaning I never intended.
I had a bidet for a while and would use it, drip for a bit, then dry off and "finish" with a round toilet paper. It's a pretty easy way to prevent the possibility of bidet water dripping down your leg and just felt...cleaner? This is a shitty conversation anyway ;) Anyway, this seems like we just misunderstood each other. I apologize for my share of the barbs. Take care.
