It’s easy to take things for granted, right? If you hear or even say something often enough, you’ll believe it, whether or not you really know what you’re talking about. This isn’t always something nefarious, however, it can simply be a matter of not knowing where certain information comes from and thus not recognizing when it’s stated—or repeated—incorrectly. As I’m sure you can already tell, I have a specific historical fact in mind today, and I suspect very few know the origin story behind it.
