The reason I absolutely believe this to be true? Because I’ve used this on my little brothers since we were kids. I’m 45.

It’s called “reverse psychology.”

It's a bizarre and (afaik) unfounded conspiracy theory, but I don't think this reasoning works as a refutation. It's still very possible that the experiment got out, and even if not they still needed policies to protect all the people they didn't want to be affected because the targeting isn't perfect.
