Heck the whole Mythbusters thing was pretty bogus.
I caught them in stupid things that made their "conclusions" laughable and totally invalid.
Ones I recall:....
They were doing something involving whether lightning would more likely strike a person who was doing some particular thing I do not recall.... So they put a dummy person in the position and used some sort of "lightning machine". Sounds good, BUT they used a plastic dummy..... non-conductive, so invalidating the conclusions, since people are definitely conductive.
They were checking out a story from the middle ages in europe to see whether a town could have actually made a wooden cannon overnight to defend their town, and whether it would work. So they went to work to determine how long it would take to bore out a log using tools from that time. And they found it would take too long, plus the log blew up. The idiots never considered that the quick way, using available technology, was a stave cannon, one made like a barrel, with staves and iron hoops to bind them together. That was a known way of making iron cannons, but their "expert" did not even mention it. Or, they could have used the iron hoops on the log itself. Either way would probably have worked and could have been done pretty quickly, as well, since it was well-known tech, and surely the town had at least one cooper. So again their conclusion was bogus.
I think the guy is a bozo. A showman, but not what he let on to be.
