I used to salt my pasta water like the sea, and a line cook in Dallas straight up laughed at me

For 3 years I dumped in handfuls because some TV chef said it should taste like the ocean. Then this guy tastes my water, spits it out, and asks if I'm trying to pickle the noodles. Now I use way less and taste the water before it boils. Am I the only one who fell for that ocean line?
