Who said they spat it out? Rinse doesn’t necessarily imply spitting something out. You spit out mouth wash after rinsing because you can’t drink mouth wash. But sugary water is something you can drink.

Yeah I don't necessarily spit it out. It's getting it off of your teeth that is the important thing.

Your stomach is already full of whatever it is you just ate. 0.1% more from whatever remains in your mouth is not going to hurt it.
