There is absolutely nothing wrong with scientifically disagreeing with someone prominent in any field. This is how knowledge is gained. If Darwin didn't buck up against the giants in his field at the time, we may not be as far advanced in evolutionary biology as we. Also, others may have had an idea of natural selection, but didn't want to buck the system. Maybe if they did we would be farther in evolutionary biology than we currently are.
For advanced growers, I think South Park makes some very realistic and sound suggestions. He is not saying too water ctsm like they are in active growth, but to consider that a little water under the right conditions while dormant or in early growth isn't as harmful as the community says.
Much of the community is adamant about no water period over dormancy, which is fully justified for beginners. However, just looking through this forum, there have been instances one could find of people watering when you 'shouldn't'. This very thread can speak to it being ok. I watered plans in dormancy to plump up my bulbs. I have plenty of aeration around my roots and did not get any root rot.
I understand wanting to do what the experts say, but if no one ever tried anything different, no new knowledge will be gained.
