No, the experts didn't get it wrong because they got hung up on a (fairly ridiculous) misinterpretation of the rules. They got it wrong because they didn't bother doing the math. And yes, this is deservedly a strong cultural memory, because it's so easy to fall into that error without realizing it. There are some PHDs who got it wrong, and are _still_ making frankly ridiculous arguments about how the rules were vaguely defined, rather than simply admitting that they made basic mathematical errors. Be careful that you're actually fighting against revisionism, and not falling for revisionism.
