Pure water is virtually an insulator. I don't know why the amorphous "they"
say "don't stand in it."

Ah.....good question

the reason to avoid water / wetness when working with electricity is
that water / moisture GREATLY reduces the resistance of skin (shoes,
etc).

If you've got a sensitive ohm meter you can test dry skin vs wet
skin......the difference is amazing.
