So I decided to test the theory... I took two bottle caps. Filled them both with water and stuck one into the center of a bag filled with white rice. The other I just set on the table next to the bag.

After three days the cap outside the bag had evaporated all of its water.

The cap inside the bag only evaporated about 1/3 of its water.

So I have to debunk this myth...

The best thing to do is just leave it sitting out on a table.
