No Debate.. Clean and Dry torque is just that... clean and dry.. no oil, grease or "finger" oil....
Wet torque or lubricated torque gets more complicated in that each type of oil, grease or lubricant has it's own lubricity factor. This is a measure of its ability to lubricate (reduce friction).. So, a true wet torque value must specify the exact lubricant to be utilized.
BTW, for reference, I spent 40 years in the fastener industry, teaching proper fastener utilization.
