This interesting term was coined by my late buddy, Chuck Karwan. It really means the same thing as accepted fallacies. In other words—baloney. Over the years, one of the more ridiculous myth-conceptions had to do with those colored flakes in Hercules Red, Blue and Green Dot powders. It was often repeated that they were more potent flakes of powder, used to alter the burning rate of the overall product. Another colleague from the old days just couldn't let this one pass. Dean Grennell once carefully plucked the red flakes out of a saucer full of Blue Dot, then used them to load a couple of rounds of some long-forgotten load. When fired and chronographed, there was no discernible difference in performance. Only an avid scientist could tell you that because few others would go to the trouble.
