Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though ๐คท

Most people don't run their hot tap prior to running their dishwasher. It's really only if you notice an issue with your dishes being fully cleaned that you would even need to do it
That's why I said "If"
But if you build it into the appliance, then the appliance will waste that water for literally every load, regardless of whether the person cares about making the water hot first
Right, but it'll work properly. Appliances should work properly.
The variables are too numerous for you to say it's not working properly if it starts with cold water
I didn't say it's not working properly with cold water, I said if it needs pre-heated water to work properly as the video contends, the efficiency regulations need to take that into consideration.
Your previous comment did not say "if;" it said "should."
Incorrect.
The only time I said "should" in this exchange is when I said appliances should work properly. I'll assume you don't disagree.
Dude, my entire point is pre-heating is not always necessary for it to work properly
That's why I said "if"
So building this feature into the machine would unnecessarily waste water
