Definitely not the case. At least here in Japan, right now the seeds are large, but the fields are mostly not flooded. I believe the reason for flooding the seedlings is to crowd out weeds, which unlike rice are unable to get established.

An interesting perspective on these numbers is to consider Concorde. Though it flew several times per day on average, for a couple of decades, Concorde went from 0.0 (perfect) to 11.36 in a single event. By far the worst on the list. I glea
