Actually, this is little more than a wide spread myth, I'm happy to say.
Adding salt to beans while they are cooking does not affect their tenderness
in any appreciable way. There may be some tiny chemical reaction, but it is
unnoticeable in the finished product. Salt away, and eat the beans when they
are tender.
