Whatever happened back in the day, pieces like this story, strangely enough, actually have a chance to sink into the population's psyche of our day, a day where millions are tending to believe/disbelieve almost any narrative without a thought as to where these facts are coming from.

Therefore people, (millions of them) could change their mythos mindset at the drop of a hat, apparently. Simply read conclusions in the news nowadays.

Aiding this potential phenomena in a twisted sort of way is that we are in a population that thinks studying history in the advanced school years is a total waste of time, and of no use. This condition helps us to reach this state of feckless states of beliefs.
