My old foreman's 'run it hot' tip wrecked a modem port today

Dave from my last crew swore that pushing 10 dB over spec into the tap fixed weak signal issues, so I tried it on a stubborn install in Toledo this morning. The modem took the surge and the port fried right in front of the customer, had to swap the whole unit and eat an extra hour. Has anyone else gotten told to overdrive the line and actually seen it work, or is that just a recipe for blowing gear? lmao
