as for water, it's no theory. unless you immerse the inlet, it is almost impossible to get enough water past the filter to do anything. merely driving in rain would introduce no more water than a water injection system, and even then, the filter will stop it. if you're dumb enough to immerse your inlet, then you get what you deserve. i see idiots on the news all the time trying to drive through flooded streets. of course they get stuck. they deserve to get stuck. social darwinism at work.

It is a theory because it's clear you are not talking from experience.
When it happened 95% of my driving was on highways ,there weren't even puddles . Water does get past the filter and very easily i might add.
The suction created by the engine alone is enough to suck in small objects, at speed the air flow gets much more powerful ,enough to easily suck up water.
Think of all the water you get on your windshield,same principal except the surface area is much smaller but is also low so you also get a huge amount of spray from leading cars.
Of course if you live in a dry climate or the setup is for a track car all of this is not relevant.
You said you never heard of this happening , now you did and you choose to dismiss the fact of it being true ; maybe it's not even the first time.
