unfortunately, I'm sure. Really dumb things like the Earth is flat are catching on and one member of my extended social circle is absolutely sure that the Earth is bigger than the Sun. She's a holistic healer but has a psychology degree from a flagship state university.
These are people who don't build facts from bottom up but rather support their version of facts based on intuition and desire. Though we all do this to a degree, some will change if confronted with solid evidence but many simply will forever stick with what they feel is true, including that changing the clocks creates an additional hour of sunlight. Even pointing out that it is not as light when they get up Sunday morning after the clock change as it was at the same time the day before, they don't care because they know in the summer it is bright at that time in the morning. The tilt of the Earth on its axis is as fantasy to them as the flat Earth is to the rest of us.
