You sound very confident. I think if you were here with me, I would let you do
the test. As it is, I have consulted with another colleague, and he agrees
that if water goes in the wrong place, it will likely destroy the board.
Beyond that, for the test to be meaningful, I would have to estimate the volume
of the ice-cube, it's geometry, and the pressure with which I applied it to the
board, assuming that I hold it against the board with my finger from
underneath. All this while watching a clock on my computer screen to measure
the passage of time. Maybe not so hard that last one. All that effort, for
uncertain results, for a problem that occurred once when doing a whole bunch of
random operations with the pi that I would never expect the os developers to
anticipate, and hasn't showed up since. And the chance that the pi will get
damaged. Certainly, if I kept getting that error, if the pi was unusable, the
whole equation would change, there would be nothing to loose.
