Not really. They were replying to it being unsafe. Sure, they did mention in the comment before that about leaving it in a dish, but a dish that covers butter without the water works too, just not as well as the water one, but better than out in the open. In my experience even out in the open isn’t bad in a few days like it says, closer to 1-2 weeks, especially if salted.
Leaving butter out is definitely not a safe practice. Modern butter is not shelf stable and needs to be stored in the refrigerator.
Old style butter, which had a large amount of salt as a preservative, was safe to leave out for long periods of time, but this is no longer true.

Safe but the flavour can turn rancid. You just dunked on yourself lol.
