PiAlpha is gonna come in here flailing about if he finds anyone dissing Mythbusters!

I will agree with abracax on this one though...I've seen a lot of their shows where the premise of their experiment was already faulty. They will say "Ok, how would we go about creating Greek Fire?" and they'll discuss it and say "Well, they might have used pitch, but we don't have any pitch. What we DO have is some road tar, so let's try that!" When it doesn't work out, they say "Myth Busted!" and I can only think that had they done the experiment the way they KNEW they should have, it might have worked.

The guys are good, but they are SPECIAL EFFECTS spe******ts. Not scientists publishing years-long double-blind studies in peer-reviewed journals of prestige. As entertaining as the show is, I cannot hold them up as proof or disproof of anything.
