I am wth you and against you, David.
dipping in clean water - no harm
dipping in the Mississippi river- not recommended
However,
there is a special case, which we have suffered from water droplets
problem, namely, narrow spaces and absorbent contaminations  under
components. In such a situation, closed-in water can take many, many hours
of drying before all water has been removed.
