shorter: flashover occurs faster than investigators thought. That is the sole myth the article even mentions.

  It links to a much more detailed article. Expecting a short radio piece to go into enormous detail is a bit unreasonable, and picking the biggest one - that fire investigators didn't even know how long a normal, non-accelerated fire would take to start - is pretty good at showing just how bad the state of the "art" was/is.
