Anyone circulating this rumor is clueless.

Anyone asking "any truth to this" (that's you) is also clueless:
endianness of most processors is *fixed in stone* at the time of
their design. A notable exception is MIPS, which can be configured
(at boot time?) to run in either big-endian, or little-endian mode.
