I’m not sure what’s a truer analogy than static cling for hydrophobia as a force holding things together which the general audience has any experience with. Macroscopic experience of hydrophobia is, like, oil collecting on the surface of water, which isn’t experienced as a binding force the way that static cling is.
Yea, idk. I was thinking of the quotes where you explicitly mentioned Van der Waals forces. Tbc, my preference would be to not be forced to pick a single force
