Myth Busters is pure entertainment and has no rigourous scientific controls in any of their so-called experiments. It is fun to watch, but that’s about it. I’ve seen them get it wrong a number of times because their test conditions were completely flawed. Then again you can’t expect too much from hollywood.

Like 'proving' that you can't sink in quicksand by testing it in a container that gave it no room to expand..

Yeah, but they listen to viewer feedback and try to do it right on their revisit episodes.

They're claiming they "busted" the myth that wood splinters were the main cause of casualties on wooden fighting ships was a joke.
