All too often, experts from all areas under-estimate the power of myths, thinking myths can be dispelled with information and education.  Myths are not mists, but memes more powerful than facts.  Even when people are informed or educated, myths persists still by interfering with memory and communication.  In my opinion, counter-myths are often more effective than truth.

I have no idea where this bit of thought came from.  Maybe this is just part of being an eccentric.
