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 guess I mean sieve rather than colander, as colanders are too coarse and the rice will fall through. Same question though.

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.
