Following orders from the boss, I've moved this over here from the other thread:
Yeah, it's probably not common in the sense that astrology myths are common, but in science it's quite a big myth.. I suppose I could debunk the myth that Chomsky was the person (or one of) who started the cognitive revolution, and instead I'll demonstrate that a big player in that movement was Skinner...
That'd be a massive topic, I think, with numerous caveats that would take me a while to expand on. It certainly would be interesting though.
Now that would be fun!
I created a topic on that and only about 3 people replied..
And to Durro, good work on the essay. It explains it all very well!
