is it真 that price gets dragged to 'max pain' on every options expiry?

people say price converges toward the 'max pain' strike around weekly/monthly options expiry. it does sometimes feel like it chops oddly or pins to a level into expiry... is this statistically meaningful or just hindsight fitting? anyone actually scalp around expiries?
