Indeed, what described was not superstition; there doesn't appear to be an exact word for what he was talking about (cargo cult is perhaps closer but not quite right), so it was a fuzzy match. What you responded to, however, was superstition and as a result your comment had basically nothing to do with the article. I hope you can forgive my misunderstanding. :)
