Some people in the hydro world now think that by running on just water that they can flush out excess chemicals from the plant by some form of reverse osmosis through the roots into the flushing water. Its amazing the myths that grow in the cannabis community.

It would seem that you misunderstand the myth. The myth is that by fluching all the nutrients from the soil, they will no longer be there to feed the plant, so the plant will use up the nutrients that it has stored. As far as myths go, this one at least seems to be grounded in logic.

Some non-organic growers prefer to flush their pots a time or two during the grow to clean the excess salts from the medium. This is what the original question was referrring to. The question, at least as near as I can tell, had nothing to do with a final flush.

Interestingly, there have been some discussions about molasses lately and almost all of the pro growers agreed that molasses can be used right up to the end. So, in a way, that kinda makes you right too, doesn't it?

And then there's the quote from your first post here:

its good pactise to starve your plants of food last week by just giving water

So it seems there was some kind of partial agreement right from the outset, just the use of different terms.

....it's all so very confusing.
