As far as it leading to burns by magnifying the sun... that sounds more like an old wive's tale to me, to be honest. Also... consider that it came from an old wife! LOL. (no offense to your grandma).
You of course probably don't want to have the leaves soaked all the time... maybe that is how your grandma got into problems. That would be more likely to lead to fungus then burning though... at least that is what I would think.
But a misting a few times a week, or maybe even once a day, would probably be good for the plant. Oh, and I don't think you're supposed to mist the buds when flowers appear... not because of burning, but because of potential fungus if the water can't evaporate easily.
