I've said a number of times this is the problem with reading large amounts of misinformation.

You start reading all the bullshit stories and nonsense science and bits of it sink in at some level. You may not remember the source but your brain's gonna retrieve it anyway and tada, it's fact now.

Me, today: "Wow, Socrates was so autistic he was put to death for it."
