    Also, most of the myths weren’t “serious”- it wasn’t like they were debunking flat earth or something.

      I hate that debunking flat earth is now seen as serious rather than a 5th grade science experiment.

      Though you could do that. And with equipment and a type of experiment that would make sense on their show. The experiment conducted at the very end of the documentary Behind the Curve is perfect. Great big lasers, a simple and easy-to-visualise pass condition. If they had wanted to, they absolutely could have done it.
