I may need my myth busted

Not on end grain. Glue joints rely on long grain to long grain
orientation for their strength. (*) End grain fibers can't form the
bond. It may hold for a little while as a mechanical bond, but even new
it won't have much strength and will certainly fail in the long run.

I can appreciate that!
