adding Water at the end of mix experiment

After last week, I was going to do another experiment this week to see if adding more water at the end of the mix makes any difference in the dough.  These are two batches of dough I made today, one with adding the water with the preferment and all the other ingredients, except the olive oil at the very end of the mix.  The second batch was made the same way, but the olive oil also was added before I added the extra water I now put in my preferment Lehmann dough.  I am putting more water in my preferment Lehmann dough now because I am beginning to like a higher hydration dough.  As can be seen during the mix of the second batch the water splatters on the sides of the mixing bowl, but it doesn’t seem to make any difference in the final dough, after the extra water in incorporated.  I will have to do some more experiments to see if this holds true.
