For me that was not reason number 1 in recommending to get rif of the UV lamp asap.
Although I do believe in what you call 'mythology' and that would be defenitly reason number 2 why I'd personly remove the lamp.. But as SM already said, that's a different topic.
My #1 reason in getting rid of the UV lamp is that a UV lamp, is just not relyable.. We don't know how old it is to begin with.
I noticed more than person having issues with their UV lamps over the years, especialy from the Exo Terra or Zoomed brand. Those lamps seems to lose their initial benefenits very fast over a short period of time and then radiate a lot of UVc which could potentialy be very harmfull!
Getting rid of everything that could potentialy be harmfull is the only good advice imo.. Better safe than sorry..
