Supported evidence
In the Glansa account, Risen describes added water as opening the nose while weakening the palate; his overall assessment explicitly contrasts those two responses.
Proposed Academy application: record nose, palate and preference separately during a side-by-side water comparison. This does not establish a universal dilution effect, an optimal water quantity, chemical causation or replication across tasters.
