How can this be interpreted when it's said between two people during an argument?

This has to do with the fact that water molecules mesh, forming ever larger pools of water, as the drops join the pool. The implication is that the drops (the person being spoken of is one) relinquish their individuality to become a small part of the pool and share the same characteristics. In other words, the person being spoken of is not strong enough to decide for himself who and what he is, but draws his identity from those around him. If you look at those around him, that is what he is.

Two people stand in different places on an issue.
One of them is wrong or in this case; "all wet".
When someone uses this phrase they are implying that sooner or later it will become obvious who is wrong.
I hope this doesn't give you a sinking feeling.

It means that people will naturally end up in a place (in society, for example) that is suited to their qualities.
