It could be misinformation as well as this complex to feed our animals to death out of love. We get pleasure seeing an animal eating (and though not in a snake's case) enjoy the food we give...thus making us want to give more.
Make some sense?

I think you are right, although I do seem to hear people (younger inexperienced snake keepers) brag about how much their snake can eat, how big it is, how fast they got it to grow more than I would like to hear. I think they think it makes them cool because they have this huge snake.
