Can you explain your example in more detail please.
I ask, as I have seen a few folks (low 'digits' in number), and know of many examples of folks who eat nothing at all for a long period (the most famous ones being in the order of months) in a western European environment, who have still absorbed water, until they eventually died. Although they suffered all the usual symptoms of food deprivation, they did still absorb water long after they had last eaten food of any kind, with some taking over a month (after food) to be really showing signs of very poor water absorption (despite still taking fluids).
Even if we were to use the well known (but incorrect) phrase of: Three minutes without air; three days without water; three months without food, what time scale are you referring to with the zero absorption thesis?
