Not sure I see how that analogy applies.

If the 'water' is the knowledge of upgrading Debian releases as present
in the official release notes, then the chemical analysis is the advice
on upgrading from this list? In that case, it seems the horse is in
danger of eating the chemical analysis of the water, rather than
drinking the water.

The reverse would make more sense, the water being the advice from this
list, and the release notes being the chemical analysis.
