Wet Blanket

I don't get it. More than once, I've read questions in magazines and on line from people asking advice on how to make seeds stick to breads and rolls. And again, more than once, I've seen this answer: moisten the loaves with a damp towel. A damp towel. On proofed bread. What a stupid thing to say. Why not fill up the bathtub and float the dough around for a while? If the columnists are truly bakers, what, then, do they use to make their seeds stick to hundreds of loaves, soggy down comforters?
Apparently, the spray bottle is an unheard-of device to these people.
