    Where's @nolaegghead ?  I bet he has a statistical analysis chart somewhere that can debunk that statement.

    Additional Myths:

    -Meat 'absorbs' smoke

    -smoke only flavors the meat in the first hour or so

    -that salt dries out meat (sugar draws more water out of meat, and you never worry about that)

    -nitrites in bacon are bad for you

    -ziploc bags of water keep flies away

    -that foods have expiration dates (nope. No such thing as an expiration date on food)

    -that brown meat is bad

    -that you want a brisket from whichever side is the one the steer doesn't lie down on

    -that bark makes bitter smoke

    -that you can marinate in oil

    -that meat tenderizer actually tenderizes meat

    -that leaving rub (or salt) too long on pork will make it taste hammy (or cure it, or both)

    -that searing locks in juices

    -that washing mushrooms makes them soggy

    -that game is gamey

    -that soaking game in milk makes it less gamey

    -that meat has 'pores' (but skin does)

    -that a three pound cowboy rib eye is a steak (it's a roast)

    ...for starters
    and that stike isn't just a little ol' lovable fuzz ball!

    Pink pork will kill you-or at least make you sick.
    Shrimp must be shelled and de-veined and heads removed to cook. The dead man fingers in a crab are poison. Salt water catfish are poison.

    But a hole detracts from the whole.

    Now you've gone too far.  If an old lady doesn't have butterscotch candies, the world doesn't make sense anymore.

    Pokes from a meat thermometer are no biggie. I do not flip meats with a fork or pick, though. I use tongs. 
    Huh? A hole is a hole is a hole. It'll be fine.
    Poking holes for a thermometer is a necessity. Why would I want to poke any more holes in the meat if I don't have to? I'll keep to my tongs.
