No disagreement but 1. The myth wasn’t about whether or not the door could be opened. 2. The myth was what happened if the door was opened.
The article covers 1 as a way of refuting 2. The article did directly refute 2. Opening the door is risky but there is no risk of the door being opened.
This is why it is fun to scare people by stating very truthfully what would happen IF the door was opened.
It is a classic liberal scare tactic. Scare people with the consequences of something that is unlikely to ever happen. The proclaim we must take action.

Unless it's an airbus 300.
A flight attendant aboard an American Airlines jet fell to his death Monday after opening a door before the plane depressurized during an emergency landing, police said.
Flight attendant Jose Chiu was basically sucked out onto the tarmac, said police spokeswoman Nelda Fonticiella.
Unlike other large passenger jets, the emergency exit doors on the Airbus 300 open directly outward, like a car door, instead of inwards.
