My wife FREAKS OUT when i run the disposal with out the water running. She claims i am going to burn it up, as if water is its lubricant. Anyone else have this happen at home? How can i tell her she is wrong, as i know i am right?

5. Allow both the disposer and cold water to run after grinding is completed to help
flush out drain pipes. Ground waste and water flow at an approximate rate of
2 seconds/foot in a pitched horizontal drain pipe. The water flow time after
grinding will depend on the quantity of ground food waste and the length of
horizontal drain pipe.
