^ I'm here for that too, have learned a lot. Yes, I would agree that water doesn't add power by itself. But at cooler intake/cylinder temperatures (which is what the water does), more fuel is in the available air, and that makes more power. This would be true whether or not there is boost.

A good example of this is that a Cold Air Intake adds power to a stock car (n/a), simply by cooling down the incoming air. Water injection does the same thing, to my understanding.

What I meant was "some people saying" doesn't help any of us. Doesn't it depend on who said it, when they said it, and what they were talking about? So my request, respectfully is to be more specific in that regard.
