It breaks down the complex sugars quickly but can lead to a soft shell with hard core - then it's not possible to dial in a cooking time that leads to both being equally soft vs soaking in cold water and having a consistent firmness to cook down. Water soluble vitamins/minerals get lost if you pitch the soaking water so presumably more leeches out with hot water.
