Water being mostly incompressible is not the same as having high compressive strength. Liquid water makes for a poor tooth or structural column.

That's my point; think about it deeply.

You wrote "water has great compressive strength", sk5t directly (and correctly) refuted that claim. What is there to think about?

Are you confusing "compressive strength" with compressibility?

Very hard to force it to failure into permanent changes in shape.
