What a stupid recommendation. It’s not going to hurt anything. I wonder if the idiot pushing for this documentation realizes what bad press it’s generated.

One presumes that there is at least one case where it was determined that rice particles did something to the phone. Then Apple analogized and extrapolated from there.
