This is triply interesting for me because I had never heard of this myth and, reading the comments, I appear the be the only one out of the loop on the myth itself or the game. I wonder how many other pop-sci myths I'm unaware of.

Congratulations on being one of today’s lucky ten thousand then!

I found this podcast here in the comments for more such things, called “99% Invisible” apparently elephants walk surprisingly silently instead of the thunderous stomping in the cinema.

Curious if you’ve heard of someone being called a “lemming” meaning they’re easily coerced or will follow a leader blindly.

Only ever heard someone be called a "lemon" which was I presumed because they were so winsome they made you purse up your mouth like you'd just tasted lemon.
