no water will absolutely not "sterilize" pollen if it would the first time a rain fell on cannabis it would not have been able to reproduce. once pollen hits a pistil you get a seed. as for where they form it depends on where the pollen lands. you cold easily have had a hermie pop in random or a few. not every pollen grain is viable thats why they produce so many that and how many blow away and never see a female plant.

water does absolutely make pollen ineffective. The pollen only has to be on the pistil a short time (hours?) to pollinate. After that water will ruin the pollen. This has been used for years for selective pollination of limited number of flowers or branches. Typically a plastic bag with pollen is put on a branch. The next day the bag is removed and the plant is wet down.

Actually they are both correct.
Tap water will take the pollen out right away.
And distilled/rain/RO water will , well get it wet.
Wet pollen can't fly, so it rots.
