Won't dipping her hand in water contaminate it? Seems like a meddler.

I think the difference is that, according to her chroniclers, is that she's actually done that kind of engineering work and would probably know if she was tainting the process. It's on a different level than, say, when, Steve Jobs directed his programmers on how/what to code [0].
