Cannot confirm.Confirmed, didn't follow directions correctly.
Setblock doesn't do a block update. It's similar to melting ice with a torch. You'll need to add destroy to force the block update
But setblock does cause a block update. If do setblock water twice next to each other the water starts to flow
That works because the second sponge creates the block update for the first one
