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)

(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 don't usually observe the chemistry process in cooking rice, because I don't need to learn to cook some rice, I just need to follow my elders' way. From my rare observations, rice absorb vaporized water in order to be cooked, not heated water or water, but precisely the steam.

I'm not so much asking for the chemistry as why people are so horrified.
