I take it then that water content is not something considered
important? I must admit that I am new at this. Perhaps it is only
important when you are working with naturally-procured wood. Is the
big-box material usually pre-conditioned to be at a fairly consistent
water content? Should wood be expected to warp and develop cracks as
it ages?

You can take it that you are making way more of this than you need to.
