No. You're not. I believe nothing has ever been written about the consequence of flying with water ballast with authority.
Having started this thread I am part way through a post to qualify what I've said so far and that should be in the next few days.

I've had a reasonably long look in my copy of your book and can't find that sentence in the section on water ballast. There's not an index as such so I am not sure if the above is taken from somewhere else, out of the ballast section. The information in my copy is a reasonable technical discussion on the "why" of water ballast but there's little on the practical side, the "how". Am I looking in the wrong place?
