Would using damp hands or hands that feel wet but doesnt have any drops of water on them cause liquid damage to an iPad if you use it?

It would obviously depend on where exactly your damp/wet fingers/hands are - if they are on/near the edge, it would be possible for moisture to get inside. So, I wouldn't do it - water and electronics do not mix.

Then how can you ever know if it’s safe to use an iPad since skin absorbs moisture and water?

Dry your hands before picking up your iPad. If you're an extremely sweaty person, keep a towel near by.

I'm not going to get into a philosophical debate; nor do I have any research results on how much moisture is absorbed by skin. As long as your hands are dry to the touch, they are not oozing water and should be fine. This is my personal opinion.

What is this obsession with the internal liquid indicators and liquid on or inside of iDevices?

Just keep the iPad and your hands dry.

FYI,

I always use a slightly damp, but warm microfiber cloth to clean my iDevice screen.

I think you are over thinking, over obsessing about this.

Just have fun using your iDevices.

Just keep them from getting excessively wet and do not spill any liquids on them and keep them from getting wet when it is raining outside.
