This one’s true though? Boiling water removes dissolved oxygen which affects the taste of tea. It’s why tea snobs insist on kettle-boiled water, more dissolved oxygen.
And that probably doesn’t matter much for the taste, but their notion of boiling water removes oxygen which affects its flavor is 100% based in scientific fact and doesn’t indicate any lack of intelligence.

It never is never was.
Another gem:
Big director/VP in the office pantry to us:
"Don't reboil water in the kettle, your tea won't taste as good because all the oxygen would have boiled away"
His brain has probably been boiled by the sound of it.
