Before even trying to rely on the water break test, I suggest you may 
care to read the peer-reviewed paper I presented in Circuit World,
Volume 35, Number 4, 2005. pp 47-50, entitled "The Water Break Test".
This will explain that there are a number of fallacies involved, when
relying on such empirical methods. The main one is that the test will
succeed only on contaminated surfaces.
