I'd be shot for putting tap water in emergency battery/engine start banks.
Yeah, don't believe everything you're taught. Teachers can be and are often wrong.

And just because you can't see the effects immediately, that doesn't mean they aren't there or don't develop over time/cycles.

If it's your battery, go nuts. If you're being paid to (and trusted to) fix someone elses car, anything short of 100% is a cop-out.
