We've seen proof that's not the case, but people continue to natter on like it continues to be factual.

JVN's major pet peeve in ALL aspects of his life:
If you repeat a lie enough times it starts to become the truth. Not enough people do their own factual comparisons but instead they just repeat generalizations not grounded in quantitative analysis.
