Though Shall Not Propagate Common Myths: from 'bandwagon' - "The flaw in this argument is that the popularity of an idea has absolutely no bearing on its validity. If it did, then the Earth would have made itself flat for most of history to accommodate people’s popular belief." While 'most of history' is a long time, the knowledge of a round earth has been around (and popular) since around 300 BC. It may be true that humans, and even that written (let alone verbal) histories, have been around for much more than 2000 years, the commonness of this myth warrants a different example. You wouldn't want to be seen supporting a position that only exists because many people think it is true, now would you :D
