Default Lilies don't like moving water

I think it is more accurate to say that lilies don't like disturbed water,
with obvious motion on the surface, like you would have near the waterfall.

I've seen it mentioned a few times here and also read in books that water
lilies don't like moving water. So, the question arises, if you are

supposed
to move the entire volume of your pond through whatever filter you are

using
every one to two hours, how can you not have moving water? I think I'm
around a water change very 1.5 hours and would call that noticeably moving
water; no waves or anything, but moving along.

Clearly, I don't have lilies in the stream or under my waterfall, but I do
in my main pond.

Enquiring minds are looking askance for some insight.
