What the .... ?

Forgive me if this topic was all ready discussed, but I didn't find any threads with that general description.
Anyway... I've read instructions before that coticules "should only be used with water"—but this? Absolutely no slurry? No dilucot? Ellipticot? Unicot?
Does anyone have experience using a coticule with no slurry at all? The speaker in this video says slurries were introduced in the 60's for some unknown reason. He infers that everyone who used a coticule, well, just used it.
He sets a bevel on synth, moves up to a Shapton 5k, and then does circles on a coticule under running water. And the microscope images are very convincing of his case.
Opinions with no slurry? Experience? Dare I say preference?
