I was the one who mentioned it.  It was an interesting test although I heard a
different frequency in the way I heard the myth.  Still, they are trying to
see if these myths are for real.  The few times I've watched it, I had the same
reactions to their conclusions    If it was supposed to be really scientific,
the people who think the myth is true are the ones are supposed to prove it.
It's a little illogical to try to disprove something that doesn't exist. :)
