Nope, that's not how it works. But your whole comment is a great showcase about how these myths continue to persist, even though the whole internet is out there filled with knowledge you could slurp up at a moments notice.

Your comment would be better if you cited any evidence. Otherwise, I could also point you to a whole internet which is, as I said, full of law firm ads fishing for plaintiffs who have only been 'harmed' in the most strained definition of the word.
