They used the dorodango technique to create dung spheres in order to bust the myth that one "can't polish a turd". Using a glossmeter, they measured gloss levels substantially higher than the value of 70 gloss units, which is considered "high gloss". Savage's 106-gloss unit dorodango used an ostrich's feces, while Hyneman's 183-gloss unit specimen used a lion's feces. They therefore deemed the myth "busted".

Consider a usage other than "fear". Think of something hydrophobic. Do you really think that an inanimate surface is afraid of water?

I don't think it's technically incorrect, I think folks have been taught an overly narrow usage of the suffix.
