None of this is true. Wiring harnesses aren't water tight, primarily to prevent corrosion. If you have a totally water tight harness, and water some how gets in, it has no way to dry and will cause corrosion.
You absolutely can splice a harness and have it have the same characteristics, I do it every day.

Each individual wire inside the harness - the copper inside - is sealed to the environment. You will get corrosion on copper if you expose it to atmosphere - exactly what happens when you splice it. By the way - I do development / testing of automotive electronics and am well aware of the specs / test procedure and design decisions of wire harnesses...
