You are not wrong. But the scenario in the "How would you survive thread" specifies that all you have with you is your PSK. In my outdoor romps I always carry a knife capable of splitting wood. My current one is a Becker BK10 Crewman. But in my "PSK" I only have a 2" Swedish blade sans handle from Ragnar--hardly the stuff for splitting or batoning. Thus my emphasis in the given scenario on gathering dry wood and keeping it so. If the scenario allowed me my Becker, or better yet, my Wetterling hatchet, I would not have worried about wet wood so much.
