What I get from what Sean Carrol says about water is that water doesn't need us to exist. Water got along for billions of years without us. I would add that it is us, before the advent of science, who invented the primitive descriptions of the macro world without knowledge of its micro and nano and particular characteristics. He's simply saying that we don't need the "qualitative" descriptions to know what there is to fundamentally know about water etc.
