What do you think of this cold room myth?

You are right. Cold storage does not kill bacteria. it essentially puts them into hibernation. They are inactive while the food is frozen and will “wake up” as soon as the food thaws.
We can say cold storage killing bacteria is a myth, which is false. It does prevent bacteria and also keep them inactive.

Yeah. While the myth is talking about cold storage being bacteriocidal, it is actually bacteriostatic. It greatly slows down the actions of bacteria which involves replication.
