Um, exhaust valve... I challenge you to stop an engine after combustion has been initiated but before the exhaust valve on that cyliner opens...
You can stop fuel from exploding by not firing a spark plug. Much harder to get water to not vaporize in the same environment.
So don't fire the water injector... Ok, that's an option, but does that mean the engine has to run 5 more strokes without injection to make sure? Don't know. Maybe you are right, that's not an issue.
