I have difficulty digging things today. What you are saying is that, from the same cover, if two individuals exited into the same pouring rain at the same time - and one ran to another cover three minutes away, while the other simply stood in the downpour, then stepped back under the cover when the runner reached his goal, that the runner would be wetter than the stander. Yes? That's what you are saying.

I cannot comprehend this, as it seems to me that the runner would be enterring as much 'new' rain in his forward progress as he would be leaving behind, running out of.

Come on. Tell me how he gets wetter. Previously, for my whole life, I had felt time (under the rain) was the only working variable. (As in Charley's example, time is the sole meaningful difference.)
