They've studied it and you're wrong

The correct answer is 9/12 pesticides are removed by Simple rinsing with water. Detergents do not improve results compared to mechanical removal via rinsing for 30 seconds.
Personally I wouldn't call mechanical action of rubbing to be rinsing. I would have liked to see the % removed, but skimming that article I didn't see. Also in my experience people don't rub for 30 literal seconds, the people I watch are lucky to break 5 seconds.
But the main point I want to make is that baking soda is a base that breaks down the pesticide.
AIEW being alkaline electrolyzed water, which I understand to be baking soda.
