Is there a name for the phenomenon where the general public won't stop mentioning a solution that they /imagine/ will be standard one day without knowing the details behind it?

That's a word salad but like, "plug type won't matter once wireless charging becomes the norm" is, uh, a sentiment few people who know much about electricity transmission and electric vehicles will agree with, yet it's repeated ad nauseum.

@TechConnectify Ugh. Wireless charging is NOT what I would consider a "solution"; it just can't be as efficient, nor can it be as fast.

I would think if some of these people had both a wireless charger and a sizable power brick with a USB cable, they might see this.

@3DPrintingDad @TechConnectify with phones boasting the ability to share their charge, hopefully people will notice how losing 10% of your charge won't get even close to 10% of extra charge on the other phone...
