The answer is extremely simple:

If the myth assumes the plane remains stationary, then it will not take off.

However, if the myth assumes that the plane is free to move and use its jet/propeller engines, it will take off without any more difficulty then if it was on a normal runway - The wheel speed will just be higher.

Period.

I voted "Confirmed" assuming that the myth was assuming the second option.
