Commonly held but incorrect beliefs about programming don't exist because we're not all taught it at school from ages 5 to 18.

I see you didn't read any of the stuff on mathoverflow. I'm a first year maths student and already the second example was a belief I held :P

I think you misread my post or I misread yours. I'm saying we have lots of incorrect maths in our brains because we were actually taught maths. It's hard for programming to have commonly misheld assumptions because it's not commonly taught.
