Obviously that’s not what “replace all water with milk” means. It means just replacing the water in water form. Like oceans, rivers, and aqueducts. If it meant also the water content of other stuff like the body it just wouldn’t be possible, because milk is mostly water and you would have to replace that as well
It is a genie. That’s exactly what it means when she says “replace all the water in the world with milk”. Genies hate people. They are malicious spirits that have been imprisoned by sorcerrers to serve them and their wishes. The only thing is that it probably isn’t going to work because they are not omnipotent and have limited power usually. Enough to “fulfill a wish” of a greedy dude and fuck them over in the process, but not enough to destroy the universe.
Have you never done a “replace all” in a word document?
All of the water inside milk is now milk. All the stuff that wasn’t water that had already been in milk is now mixed in with the new milk. You have double milk. Mmilklk.
But by replacing the water part of the milk with milk you’ve replaced some of that water with water which isn’t replacing it with milk, and if you keep going you’ve replaced all water with butter which is not milk.
Often, but not always. Robin Williams’ Genie wasn’t malicious, Hell, even when he could have chosen to interpret Jafar’s wishes to not give him what he wanted, he didn’t.
Nah, there’d be nobody around for them to torture anymore, or to appreciate this particular bit of fuckery. The wish as it is is bad enough there’s no need to twist it.

But even a genie can’t replace the water in milk with milk because it doesn’t make sense, so that cannot be the genie’s interpretation of the wish

The wish wasn’t worded recursively.
Replace all water with evaporated milk, all life dies instantly
What we call “milk” contains around 87% water. All water now contains 13% pure milk. Done.
Doesn’t sound like this one does.
Genies lie, they are malicious. They want to screw you over but are compelled to grant you those.

The problem is you’re trying to apply logic to magic. Magic doesn’t do things logically, it just does them.
Magic is that --force flag you put into your commands (sorry).
Genies like to fuck with you, they would be fine killing everyone

It’s just more milk per milk
I wonder what happens if you rehydrate evaporated milk with milk?
Approximately the same as if you just use half as much water, thicker milk
What is water form? If I were to drink a glass of water, would it be in “water form?”
