Using inelastic $\alpha$-scattering at extremely forward angles, including$0^\circ$, the strength distributions of the isoscalar giant monopole resonance(ISGMR) have been measured in the $^{204,206,208}$Pb isotopes in order toexamine the proposed mutually enhanced magicity (MEM) effect on the nuclearincompressibility. The MEM effect had been suggested as a likely explanation ofthe "softness" of nuclear incompressibility observed in the ISGMR measurementsin the Sn and Cd isotopes. Our experimental results rule out any manifestationof the MEM effect in nuclear incompressibility and leave the question of thesoftness of the open-shell nuclei unresolved still.
