This test was flawed from the get go. Putting dirty dishes is different than putting an entire bowl of oatmeal in a dishwasher. Noone is doing that.

The whole point is you can put dirty dishes. Stuff like Dan had where you eat a bowl of cereal and the few pieces of cereal that were left in the bowl after you drank all the milk have dried up. Who leaves entire bowls of oatmeal out? Even if you do, you scrape the majority into the trash like a sane person.
