What stops the water?

In a typical bathroom floor tile installation you have the following
sequence:
Plywood subfloor, Thin-Set, Backerboard, Thin-Set, Tile/Grout.
If the grout is not perfectly sealed and the bathroom is heavily used
(with a lot of water on the floor), where does the water stop? *I know
Backerboard is water-damage-resistant, but I hear it can wick and
absorb water. *What are we relying on to keep the water from soaking
the plywood? *Is it just the thin-set?
Sounds like you are doing the right job. Don't worry about excess
water, its the nature of the beast. Just use a towel.
