You're entitled to your opinion, but this list goes by what the show said the verdict was. And I happen to agree with the verdict, since they were able to achieve a shine with little more than the excrement itself (plus water, which is in the baseline excrement anyway and had been previously taken out to keep it preserved), a non-trivial achievement for a rather trivial myth.
I see the Awesomeness.
Several of the tropes are just listed. Would someone care to fill them in?

Possibly naming which episode the trope was tested, I've tried to find the episode they tested Hollywood Silencers in and I just can't
Because Headscratchers is not for complaining, and because I have an amount of specialist knowledge of swordplay, I see several problems with their "busting" of Improbible Fencing Skills. First, they are using a machine to do a human's job. Second, the speed of the machine is far too slow. Lastly, and most importantly, they are insistent on a clean break rather than just any break.
I would gladly buy a spare rapier blade for my older rapier, and use my newer rapier to cut through the older one's blade. And there better be a radar gun on hand to time the speed of the tip of my blade.

And the discussion pages aren't for Troper Tales style Internet Tough Guy bragging. Putting aside that a rapier isn't really suited to cutting in the first place, are you really expecting us to believe you have some superhuman ability that lets you swing the sword faster than a machine they rigged up specifically to swing a sword faster and harder than was humanly possible?
I still say 'polish a turd' is totally busted, not even partially plausible. They did not polish post-consumer dinner as provided from the source, they dried, pulverized and reconstituted it, which is the difference between sand and concrete.
