It's not a misconception when it's what many organizations are actually doing. Any that implement SAFe, for instance.
Timeboxing is about committing only a small amount of time and money at a time, so you can choose to double down on winners and stop investing in losers, rather than suddenly finding yourself having sunk 3 months of time into something that turns out wasn't that good after all.
The question is not "How much can we definitely complete in two weeks?"; it's "What things are promising enough that we are willing to dump two weeks into them, with no promise of ever making a profit?"
If one month counts as a small amount of time and money for your organisation, then you're doing it right!
