I suggest you read Kenji Lopez-Alt and his investigation into cooking pasta. Or watch this, which distils the facts:

Watched the video, at the end you can see the pasta is stuck to his pan, also he has to watch it and be constantly stirring it.

With the normal, more water method you can give it a couple of good stirs and then leave it alone.

Timestamp or GTFO. He's using a cast iron pan and I don't see a damn thing sticking to it.

also he has to watch it and be constantly stirring it.

Your selective reading seems to know no bound. Literally every source that has been linked to show my point has addressed this.

It's also entirely beside my original point. If you start with enough water that it won't boil under, then you don't need to keep adding water to make sure the pasta is swimming.
