HERE  ARE 7 DIFFERENT WEBSITES THAT SUPPORT MY STATEMENT AND VERIFY IT AS TRUE

No it doesn't. They talk about WHERE the water is, not whether it's water or ice or snow. Again, the 71% figure includes ice and snow - it counts Mt Everest as covered in water! Yet people walk up it, clearly it's not covered in water.
