Popcorn from explosives

The results indicated that they didn’t create the perfect conditions to pop popcorn bc the heat sustained by the kernels was too brief. 400F is reportedly the ideal temperature.
What if they had preheated the popcorn, to say 350-390F, then detonated the concoction? Would the popcorn then get its required energy to pop?

Maybe, but that's not the myth.

True, but as another commenter suggested, they often try to replicate results after a busted conclusion

That would have fit the "replicate the results" narrative.
