I agree, but felt like confirming it anecdotally. I asked my two sisters, in their 20s (not in tech): they both had this misconception from school. A friend (not in tech) did too, but only until he tried registering a domain of his own and saw he could get .org. My mother (also not tech savvy) trusts .gov more than .edu or .org, but didn't realize that anyone can purchase the latter ones. I asked her why she trusted .gov over the others, she paused and laughed as she said "well the government wouldn't lie to you!" :)
