Is the myth about 'touching baby rabbit will cause rejection from mother rabbit' is really right?

I had answered a question in other site where the OP asked why her rabbit disown her own babies,so I said one of many reasons it might because that she has touched the babies and left her strange smell on the babies so their mother will see this scent as a threat. Other answerer support this idea by giving their own experience when they’re in the same situation but another answerer said that this is just a myth and domesticated animals will lost this particular behavior.

According to what I’ve learned some species of animals(in the wild or tamed) will reject their young in this situation. I’m not sure if this is just a myth and domestication really change this particular instinct. So maybe someone here can clarify this issue.
