In any case, there is no such precept.  It's listed in the gemara, but
anyone can see just by looking at the list that it's not brought down
lehalacha.  This seems to be one of those unkillable myths that circulate,
like Mordechai being Esther's uncle, or that we can't find the mekom
shechita on a giraffe.  Perhaps RAZ can do an article on it.
