Lou,
I think you are exaggerating a bit. If just running through a puddle would
warp your rotors, every car in Western Oregon would have warped rotors as it
rains all winter and much of Spring and Fall, much like England. My 72 B
has been a daily driver since it was new out here and there are no warped
rotors in sight. I believe that the problem arises when it is dry and the
rotors are hot and then doused in a puddle of water before they cool off.
It is the quick cooling of only part of a hot rotor that can cause warpage.

One sobering thought I recently read was that your car could splash through
a big puddle on your first outing with your new rotors, or as they
stated "on your way home from the new car dealer" and you would have
warped rotors !
