Well, maybe he just watched the Richard Feynman video shoot magnets?

It kinda just sounded like he was saying most people don’t know all the actual things magnets are used for.

Poorly worded, sure. That’s my takeaway

The water and magnets comment was about electromagnets, too. He was completely wrong about the reliability of elevators on aircraft carriers, but he wasn't saying permanent magnets can't get wet.

OK, but you can still get electromagnets wet?
