In that case, I suppose I would need to re-direct the question to 'them' - who maybe had some good reason for writing that..

I think that most of us have seen many examples of situations in which, "acceptable2 or not, T+E constantly or repeatedly exposed to water for long periods without any problem - and I very much doubt that you are an exception to that.

Conversely, I have never heard, and certainly never seen, a situation in which (mechanically undamaged) T+E had come to any harm, or experienced any 'problems', because it had 'got wet'. Have you?

Yep, there is quite a bit here too. No problem at all, no degradation.
