It's kind of a braindead meme that people use who think they are smarter than they actually are. You can fit an elephant on a door, that doesn't mean it has enough buoyancy to carry it.
It's like that reddit thing where people said that in karate kid, daniel is actually the bad guy and the villain of the movie is the good guy, because they saw a video of a guy who took clips out of context. Okay so you're an expert now on a movie that you clearly haven't seen.
I think it's also people remembering the visual and not the dialogue. They remember it happening but don't remember Jack trying to get on and it starting to sink. So when they see memes about it they're like "yeah wtf was up with that!"
The karate kid bad guy thing was also a major plot for the TV show.
