Superhots also produce capsaicin in the fruit, unique from non-superhots. Removing the pith from a ghost, reaper, etc., will significantly reduce the heat but still contain a lot of capsaicin from vesicles present in the fruit itself.

Yep, I tried this out with a batch by removing the membrane entirely. It was still extremely hot. Not worth the effort.
