I think a judge would say that if you haven't maltreated the phone by
dropping it in water, or leaving it in the rain, or otherwise subjecting
it to excessive moisture, then the phone is probably faulty and the red
dot proves nothing other than that it has been in humid conditions at
some point.

"Liquid damage" on phones is very common, usually alcohol related,
and very simple to see. It doesn't require dots, red or otherwise,
just a glance at the keyboard PCB. Plaintive cries of "I kept it dry
- honest guv" mean little when the little white rivulets of dried
liquid and green corrosion on the copper tracks are plain to see.
