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.

Such a strange fascination, as I wallow in waste
That such a trivial victory could put a smile on your face.
