Another phenomenon in language is if one is able to read, we often do not read carefully. We also can learn a definition and accept it as fact and repeat it. Three examples from Western beliefs: Golden rule, money is evil, the Hippocratic oath. Very human, yet is repairable!

Heh. No gold standard. Vaporware. More like "He who has more weapons of mass destruction makes the myth." :D
