Now, if these "myths" weren't commonly held, why would there need to be "facts" to counter them?
In fairness, just by posting on this forum you should know that strawman arguments exist.
Just because someone is saying, "here's what I'm arguing against" doesn't automatically mean the thing they're arguing against actually exists.
Not saying whether the myths in question are false or real, just pointing out a flaw in logic. I will now take my ten-foot-pole and back away from this discussion.
