That's true, and describes 99% of what people believe. It's just that I never see any of the mainstream proved-wrong beliefs challenged on HN - they either get a response like "no, that's wrong, and here is a reference", or accepted as gospel. Not surprising, really.

No one is saying two wrongs make one right. I clearly stated that I don't have a reference anyone can check.
