Spoiler, its RDT

In case people do nto know what RDT is, which they really should if they have been into coffee for a little while as it makes a big difference:

RDT is Ross Droplet Technique, which is very much adding water to beans. Named after David Ross who came up with it back in 2005

Honestly, is incredibly easy to spritz them when measuring, throw em in the grinder and be done.

I've never really read much on the actual effects of water on the coffee flavor itself, just the wonderful lack of static. I don't screw with espresso as I'm at my limit for expensive hobbies. I have in the past and a half gram will make a noticable difference in a shot. Enough to ruin it? Completely subjective.
