If you throw some water onto an ice block, the block doesn't get bigger. If anything, depending on the temperature of the water, the ice might even melt. The water might even be salt water, which will cause all Hell to break loose. There's only so many empirical situations where a type could beat another type. The converse is that if you throw some ice at a cup of water, the water will simply displace, but ultimately not change shape unless the distribution pattern was disruptive enough to break the container: i.e, if you throw it hard enough so that
flies everywhere.
Which brings me to another point that I'm sure some people have heard before: why in the smurf does Psychic beat Poison?
