Popular notions are always wrong. Yes, "always!"

Now, you take that popular notion that the earth is approximately
round....

FYE: A notion is a Conception, an Impression, Imagination, Opinion,
Doctrine, Belief, Supposition, a Thought. Notions are theories, not proven
or observable, not a Truth, Reality, Fact, or Actuality.

A notion may be true or false, but notions that gain popular support before
being proven or observed are always wrong.
