Well I do think that actually. :-) I suspect I could take any one of my Pentax DSLR bodies and dump a 16oz or 24oz glass of water on it, and not see any ill effects except for it being cleaner.
I've used my non-weather-sealed *istD in the rain numerous times with water all beaded up on the top panel and running down the back panel. Didn't affect it one bit. Maybe I was just lucky. Getting splashed or spilled on is quite different from being dunked or submerged. I would expect a submersion event to yield a non-working camera, but not necessarily a spill or splash.
