Sure. And there's something to be said for removing the odd little  
pebble, maybe an errant weevil, a rice husk or two, to say nothing of  
the aforementioned surface starch (or rat poison). Call it any of  
that, or simply a ritual or even a practical cleansing; it's all good.

A lot of old habits die hard because they're actually pretty smart.
