By definition, no. If it's tested, and works, and is predictive, it gets moved into the "mainstream" category. Some ATMs are just untested.

It's interesting that nobody's provided a specific example of one that did work yet though.

Anecdotal evidence is not evidence. Lack of anecdotal evidence isn't lack of evidence. And frankly, most people just don't care as much about it as you seem to, so they don't bother.
Maybe you're right, and there hasn't been one-- yet. Doesn't invalidate the concept.
