Utterly classic.

Fortunately, even back in those days people didn't necessarily believe that. Folk mythology is everywhere even today.

Example: I saw a *new* textbook in my high school which stated that stars twinkle and planets don't. So even current textbooks need to be taken with a grain of salt.
