Sorry, incorrect wording, had just woken up. Its company policy to that, as the repair notes can be presented in a legal case.Original Post Deleted
Firstly, no part inside a MacBook Air AFAIK is just plastic, it at least has some electrical components to it. Remember, when a technician is looking inside a computer after it has suffered liquid damage, 3rd party technicians included, they are looking at the aftermath of the incident, so they cannot judge where and how the liquid 'travelled' to. Liquid present, watermarks and corrosion are just some of the signs of liquid contact, but not all.
You believe that the electrical contacts of the battery is hard for liquid to get to to affect the battery, but experience tells me that that is not the case. It's not just the connector itself, which includes the connector of the battery but also the 'female' connector on the logic board, but the circuitry linking to that connector around the board that needs to be considered.
I have presented actual experience and cases to you, yet you choose to disbelieve, that is your choice.
Recently I dealt with a customer who had spilt water on their MBP. It was still miraculously able to switch on but the trackpad was not working, half the display was in a different colour, the ports were not working, and it was running super slow. The customer just wanted to get the trackpad replaced, and going against the company's policy, the technician obliged. 2 weeks laters the replaced trackpad failed again, and this customer had the balls to blame it on the quality of the repair, not the fact that the entire internals of the MBP was now corroded, and a few baby spiders had called it home. See, there are people like this on this planet who are just anal.
For the next one, I recommend the clear keyboard covers. Almost invisible and great for preventing coffee spills. (Plus I actually prefer the "softer" key touch of having them there, but that's personal.
