They are right, if something fails, the water pressure could fill and sink your boat.

Now, if you were on the boat all the time, and were there to keep an eye on it, then leaving the shore water connected while you're on board is fine.

Of course, you could connect it and turn it on when you are there, and off when you are not, but if you forget, and there is a failure? How's your insurance?
I fill my tank then connect to the pressurized line if I am docking overnight. Just remember if you go "out on the town" to turn off the pressure line and disconnect the hose (so you don't forget it the next day). You can always reconnect in the morning if you are using a substantial amount of water.
