I think there is no doubt the 8-second attention span is a myth but I think it is stated to keep developers cognisant of the fact that if the content is not interesting, it probably takes people 8-seconds to realize this and tune out.
We live in a world (me included) where, if content is not interesting and relevant, we move on to find something that is.

"Cognisant" is a great word - my new word for today. No irony, I do like it.
I also agree that if you don't catch the viewer's ( learner's) attention right away you are on a lost cause. Think of designing the ads which interrupt YouTube videos. How do you get the viewer NOT to click it away?
