Ian could be right on this. Maybe the water is conforming to the thoughts and desires of the person doing the watering. I do know for a fact that my granddaughter was wanting the microwaved ones to do badly, so it could have been from her thoughts. Or your thoughts that the water is fine could be fixing it. Only double blink studies may have a chance of resolving this. However double blind studies only blink the concous mind, not the subconcious, so even that could be iffy.
