Whether this is a real problem and how long it would take for enough water to build up to make a difference is open to debate.
I was about to make this point... also if you get water too far into the line it technically can freeze at low temps and cause starting problems... this is only if you run it really low though... most of the time the water will dilute in small amounts and run through fine.
