I'm going to regret asking this, but can someone explain to me why draining rice in a colander is actually bad? (I tend to cook white rice the "correct" way and short-grain brown rice by boiling in excess water and draining, I'm just a little puzzled by the level of outrage)

I understand that the normatively correct procedure is that you use the right amount of water that the rice is done when it's dry. I'm trying to figure out the consequences of deviating from this procedure and why they are meant to be so bad.

(The reason I don't do this for short-grain brown rice is that it takes fucking ages to cook brown rice and also no matter how well I soak and rinse it beforehand there tends to be some scum left over from cooking, so it's way easier and seems to turn out fine to boil and drain)

I think the general idea is that if you're draining off any excess water to begin with, then Something Wrong Has Happened during the rice hydration procedure
