You heard a flashy slogan or a clever play on words on a TV showing yesterday evening, and today you've heard a dozen people repeat it, each of them obviously in the hope that someone will believe they minted it themselves. If you're not prone to doing this yourself, you probably think something like "Man! What LOSERS. Can't people think up their own ideas anymore?"
Do you suppose that any really BIG misconceptions have been leveraged into the popular culture with television? They'd be ideas along the lines of what "everybody knows" and nobody questions, even though they are factually incorrect. There might even be documents, statistics, or obvious logical and historical considerations, that disprove the popular notion, but most people will cling to their favorite misconceptions anyway. Can you think of an example of what I mean?
