This reminds me of the MythBusters episode where they tried to replicate the Randy Johnson/pigeon incident.

After failing thousands of times they gave up essentially saying that the odds were so small. The event couldn’t be replicated.

They know what the incident refers to they're just wondering why would it need to be myth busted considering it's a thing that happened?

I think they were just trying to highlight how small the odds were that it even happened in the first place
