Like he says, wet is above a certain percentage of water absorbed by the fluid. I confess I don't know at what percentage the fluid is considered 'wet' off the top of my head.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, that means it actively absorbs water out of the air. For a track car, anything above 1% water content is usually enough to warrant a flush and refill.

Anything above 4% is dangerous, even for a street car.
