If people are oiling and rinsing the pasta, they really should reconsider their practices. Cold water sounds like advice from someone living with crappy pipes.

Salt a lot and taste often, yeah.

The only time I rinse my pasta is if I need it to be cold for the final dish, like macaroni salad.

But I’m also certain that macaroni salad is an abomination to real Italians, so it’s kind of a moot point.
