Yeah, I’ve read those theories, I’ve also seen people say it does nothing. I’ve forgotten and it’s made no difference. But I still do it. It’s worth noting you have to add a lot of salt to meaningfully change the boiling temperature.
Did you ever make spaghetti? When you put a bunch of them in the pot, one end of the bunch still sticks out and the bunch just stands there while the lower ends stick together.
I have made endless spaghetti and this has neverever been the case for me, ever.

I am a EU citizen and don´t know about US spaghetti. Probably the FDA approved Teflon coating or something …
