Thank you. I just spent a while investigating this and found out I (and probably many others) have been lied to my whole life. If I look at it from the point of view of a thermostat salesman or support person, and consider the mechanical nature of early thermostats, it makes sense why people would start to believe this and share it. I will probably still act as if it's true, since I work from home and don't like being hot, but I will choose a different metaphor in the future. I will also probably be a bit pedantic as well if I hear people bring this up, to try and help kill the myth.
