Well, given the nature of the failure of a high loop should it fail, no one is going to notice.Quote:

You're correct about the disposal pumping gray water back into the dishwasher if some fool were to advise clearing a clogged drain line by filling up the sink with water and turning on the disposal. Let's see how many complainbts we have got over the years on that scenario. Oops! Can''t find any of those either.
Some of the waste water would pump past the blockage, but most of it would gravity drain back into the dishwashers sump.
And also, we're talking about connecting the drain hose to the disposal.
Most Plumbers I know rough in a kitchen drain with a partition cross and pipe the discharge hose into a separate trap -- Without the air gap as a tell-tale, how would you even know a problem exists with a high loop?
The discharged water certainly isn't going to back up into the sink if the discharge hose is plugged or partially plugged.
