Moldy Seed Saving Technique?

[CapnChkn]

I sent for some seed, I received a bunch of smashed rotten seeds and a list of instructions. I sent a refund message and in the reply the guy tells me the "rotton" seeds are a special technique. I've heard of fermenting Tomato seeds, but these are peppers. Anybody have any light to shed on this "rotton" practice?

The "rotton" few i added in were allowed to mold as i have found by experience and research that this classic seed saving technique coats the seed with a layer of bacteria that speeds the release of the outer shell at germination.
