That is the conclusion of the person who did the test.

So it will still play Simon Says, just not with that phrase?  IIRC, that is
from a Halloween episode where they spoof a Twilight Zone episode, with
Bart playing the part of Anthony Freeman, the boy that you have to think
happy thoughts around... or else.  :)
      
I can remember when the Simpsons first came out.  They could be a real
lightning rod with people who did not like them, i.e. the ones that did not
like them REALLY did not like them.
