I didn't say it would. Putting a film of plastic there will most definitely hurt the dielectricity and capacitance.
You're totally ignoring my point, which is that water conducts electricity. A capacitor with a lower dielectric is better than a capacitor with a high dielectric constant which is leaking current - because the latter isn't going to act like a capacitor to begin with!
