I’ve seen the pourover advice given and referenced unquestioningly: always pre-wet your paper filter. But why? What is the benefit of doing this step?

I don’t feel it affects the flavor much. I still do it because it’s part of my pourover preheating process (I wet the filter and then microwave the ceramic v60 cone)
