I think this is a good observation.  My own observation is that it does not
wait for extra moisture.  It just needs to have the plant in the proper
stage of stress.  Water as an activator only applies when the plant is NOT
under stress and then perhaps too much water causes stress and thus the rot
appears.  Not because of the water per se, but rather the stress the water
has caused.  So I see it more under bone dry conditions than in wet ones.  I
seldom get enough water here.
