Technology Gone Wild

We have a new, top-of-the-line dishwasher that has been malfunctioning. It keeps saying there's an error and it stops working.

My wife talked to the dealer who told us the answer: we must not rinse our dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Evidently the dishwasher needs to sense dirty dishes to fully function or it displays an error message. So that means we are to put the dirtiest dishes possible into the dishwasher, which goes against every fiber of my being.

Has technology gone too far??
