That definitely sounds like BS. Being able to dump fuel is critical for safety--there are non-engine-related emergencies (loss of hydraulic systems, impending airframe structural failure) that mandate an immediate landing, and not orbiting around the airport waiting for the fuel to burn off.

Shhhhh! I'm getting an education in Crowd Psychology here. By the time this is over I'll have a degree.

No distress call; no fuel dump. Explosion.
