Why does the myth that uncapped honey cannot be harvested still persist?

The only thing that matters is the moisture content - if that is OK then you
CAN extract the honey.  The cells are not yet capped because the bees have
not filled the cells and are hoping (probably not the right word) for a
further flow.
