Yeah, that sounds more sensible than the seasoning/oil rubbing/sacrifice to the ancient ones sorta stuff that inevitably pops up whenever someone mentions cast iron.
Seasoning/oil rubbing makes sense because it creates a layer of polymer that won't let rust in. You remove it with soap which is why it can rust if you don't dry it fast.
the important thing is to dry them promptly. If you neglect that step, you risk letting rust set in.

Yeah, I don't get the babying a chunk of iron thing. They're nice because they're so tough.
