I suspect so too and again, their thinking is obviously incorrect. Those sediments and yuckies were all taken out of the hot water supply, but passed right through to the faucet on the cold side. Every time I drain my water heater, I dumped a bunch of sediment and yuckies down the drain that otherwise would have been in me, if I were drinking from the hot side rather than the cold. The logic you’re describing is like looking at a gross filter you’re replacing and saying “look at all this junk in the filter, I’m never filtering my drinking water again!” Filters look gross when you replace them for the exact same reason that hot water tank is full of sediment. It removed them.
