"To be fair to the story, Mythbusters back then were extremely seat-of-the-pants."
It wasn't second season, it was only a year or so ago. And what do you mean "were seat-of-the-pants"?
"They do controls a lot more than they used to, they talk about the scientific method, and they consult experts more than they used to."
They've always done all of those things - and then gone out and done whatever the heck they want to/makes for the most impressive TV anyhow.
