Annealing: Water "quench" or not?

I watched the video. The machine was dropping the shells into a cardboard box. The "book" said to drop them in water. Which is correct? Confused!

Lots of conflict on this one. Some experts say yes, some say no. For me, its too much of a pain to dry them in a even after dropping them in water.
