The second and third pictures in post #41 are what you're looking for. The seeds are on the bottom of the container. They are no longer attached to lighter material (like gel sacs) and are not floating on the surface. Putting a little bit of water in the container helps to keep the liquid thinner and the seeds falling to the bottom more quickly.
This is just my own theory, but I think thinner liquid in the jar allows the liquid to get "closer" to the seed shell and work on those pathogens that may be clinging to those cute hair-like protrusions. Swirling the liquid occasionally keeps the "pathogen killers" more evenly dispersed. This means all the seeds get cleaned the same amount at the same time.
