To be fair you could call that following the empirical evidence despite it running against theory, which is good science.

The time it takes to draw said worm is possibly critical for survival of the subsequent step...

Sure, like for example the time spent drawing the worm gives them time to remember to take the absolutely vital step they didn't do.

H-h-hey now, nobody said that the worm drawing was ugly!? Nor did people say that the worm was attractive.
