The good news is this: if you make a big enough argument in the
MythBusters forums, they'll re-visit the myth at a later date!
There is already a good bit of chatter about it already:

I think there is enough potential for disaster that they'll come back to
it eventually :)

This was just one of many shows where people have made planes that
didn't work because they didn't trim them or fly them correctly (classic
one is slow launch down a slope, pull nose up, stall, "land" and claim
the thing flew)(typical "Junkyard Wars" flight behavior). Its a pity
because I think it should be possible to make those planes fly -- the
wings were the type which were all curved upper surface so weren't that
heavy but at the same time they weren't that robust so wouldn't survive
their first and only trim flight. It gives totally the wrong impression
to the public at large about what's involved in making a plane fly.
