You actually think you're going to get sick if you don't run the dishwasher multiple times a day? How do people become this detached from reality?

I grew up in a family of seven and we didn't even have a dishwasher. Believe it or not, we're all still alive.

I read it as "the family will become dehydrated and need to go to the ER if there's not water in the chiller, because straight from the tap is UNACCEPTABLE"

Correct. As it happens, my wife's side of the family is prone to kidney stones, and also has an incredibly high pain threshold.
