I totally agree and am sure that many 
correspondents are spreading diseases by using this method. Bottom 
watering tends to result in saturation and, if the media is poorly 
drained may suffocate young roots. Also, if you must bottom water 
please do not dip successive flats in the same trough as you are 
simply sharing the diseases around (how would you like to take a bath 
in water recently used by several other animal species? ...rather 
graphic but it may help the understanding of the problem)
