List of common misconceptions

none

Summary

none

NOTOC Each entry on these lists of common misconceptions is worded as a correction; the misconceptions themselves are implied rather than stated. These entries are concise summaries; the main subject articles can be consulted for more detail.

Common misconceptions are viewpoints or factoids that are often accepted as true, but which are actually false. They generally arise from conventional wisdom (such as old wives' tales), stereotypes, superstitions, fallacies, a misunderstanding of science, or the popularization of pseudoscience and pseudohistory. Some common misconceptions are also considered to be urban legends, and they are sometimes involved in moral panics.
