I never knew it was a myth or old wives tale, there have been several threads on modifying the shifter forks. It is just not the simplest approach and beyond of capability of some, but can be accomplished.

Most of those posts that I've read talked about widening the earlier original 2nd/3rd shift forks to fit the later/larger diameter synchro sleeve/collar used with the later brass synchronizers, and this method didn't work well to my knowledge. Maybe I missed the posts you are referring to.
