You are almost certainly technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct. I will just add, that if you accidentally wash it with soap, you’re not going to ruin the pan. Just rinse thoroughly, dry thoroughly, and reapply your oil of choice (I usually use Avocado oil.) I think what [email protected] is saying, is that all that seasoning build-up over time can really be negated if this happens, which is absolutely a fair and valid point to make.
