Both are incorrect; the rotors are cross drilled to allow gases to escape from between the pad and rotors. In dry conditions, the primary gas generation is from the bonding agents that hold the pad together. In the wet, steam is added from the heat. In either case, gas generation between the pad face and the rotor tends to push the pad off the rotor, with a significant loss of breaking effort. Give the gas somewhere to go, and the problem goes away.
