In grammar school we had a chemistry tewacher who drummed precision into us. For instance, when reading an experiment report that stated, "I took the test tube with the solution and ran it under the tap..." he took a test tube and held it under a tap (that wasn't running) and proved that the test tube had no means of running whatsoever, under the tap or elsewhere. So we couldn't use idiomatic English like this but would need to say something like, "I held the test tube under running water to cool it." :-)
