It's always easier when Mr Squid or friends are doing something wrong to food to just say "Alton says no" than to go into a big long explanation.

You all seem to be missing the obvious.

Not all people like their pasta boiled, so putting oil in the water means that you can both boil and fry the pasta simultaneously.

Thus every diner at your table is pleased. except for the namby-pamby-no-oil-in-my-pasta purist heretics.
Duh.
