Have you ever heard of a definition of osmosis?

Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, aiming to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.[1][2][3] It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves, without input of energy,[4] across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations

The key point is "solvent molecules"
Which are the bits disolved in the water not the water.

My point was, perhaps with the incorrect wording that meat can be cooked in water and dry out
as the moisture from the meat leaves through _ _ _ _ _ _ into the cooking water and through evaporation into the air

The juices disolve in the water and then are boiled.
There's no real barrier between the meat and the water, except some parts of the skin, but when any animal is skinned or even just gutted and then covered in water, it'll be saturated in seconds.
