No you don't, and you've even said so.

Immediately after use while it's still hot, grab a towel or washcloth and rinse it under water. The heat from the cast iron should loosen up any debris you're trying to remove. Dry, then put back on the stove top or into the oven to remove any remaining moisture. It's permissible and encouraged to coat with a touch of oil.

It just doesn't seem like you are really cleaning something without soap and hot water. I mean, if you piss on your floor and then wipe it up with a paper towel, it didn't get clean. But the piss is gone.

But I guess the only answer can be that I'm scrubbing the seasoning off.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why people want to use cast iron and then treat it like teflon.
