The neverending discussion about pasta, olive oil and just putting enough water... 10g salt, 100g pasta, at least 1L water e basta così ! No oil or you ruin the pasta/sauce synergy. 😃 (lemmings.world)

Yeah, I've read those theories, I've also seen people say it does nothing. I've forgotten and it's made no difference. But I still do it. It's worth noting you have to add a lot of salt to meaningfully change the boiling temperature.
