I’m so sorry that you have chosen to argue with people who have little knowledge but have decided they do.
Coconut milk and coconut water are distinct products. Coconut water is just the liquid from the center of a (usually green) coconut, its unprocessed. Coconut milk is more an analogue to to soy milk than fruit juice, it is heavily processed by blending the pulp of the fruit with coconut water and added ingredients.
You’re right, it is. And guess what it says?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_milk
Have you ever had a fresh coconut? They have water in them.
And coconut water has precisely nothing to do with the production of coconut milk.
Even your own quote mentions the coconut pulp. Try reading the rest of the article, and also the article on coconuts themselves.
Coconut milk is produced from flesh of mature coconuts, which is referred to as leathery.
I’m curious as to what about that term strikes you as particularly moist and juicy?
Coconut water is produced from Young coconuts, before the pulp hardens.
Seriously. Get a grip and read more than the precis.
