Are there any substantial downsides to having a pot lid with strainer holes?

I like my drain holes and I can even boil water in it!!!

Haven't these numbers already been run here, several times already? My conversion, anyway, was at the floating lid thread–ideal lid being a film of oil poured on the water. My recollection (which I could but won't check) is the numbers were "substantial." Not just due to steam loss, though per others, that is substantial; looking up the latent heat of evaporation & seeing how much greater it is than [correction] latent heat of fusion, lead me to see trickles of steam as trickles of gasoline/alcohol. (The floating lid also reduced the convection of steam under the lid and associated increase in lid radiation.)

Of course one person's "substantial" is another's "meh." Back when I started lightening up, I adopted a stock response when people would say, "the additional weight is insignificant." Me: "I'm headed in the other direction."

Substantial downside 1 for me would be encouragement act of straining. I no longer pour off any water ever. All is poured into my bowl for the stew (or soup, depending on how well I measured).

Downside 2 is it would encourage me to use observation of steam as gauge of readiness. I don't need boiling water for my meals, just hot water, so steam means I've used too much fuel. Measure fuel, burn, live with result.

Downside 3 would be if 1 & 2 above were irrelevant because I was using found fuel–wood–and weight no matter. Then I'd prefer to have less smoky water over the option of pouring off smoky water.

Standard deviation of perceived "substantiality" by forum participants for the foregoing I expect to be un-quantified for a while….
