   Seems to me: if they remove the seeds they are bound to
remove some of the ribs the seeds are attached to, which is 
where the heat is, which would would skew the results even
more.  
   It also seems like a reasonable explanation as to why 
people still believe (erroneously) that the seeds are where the
heat resides.
