Good point, there's no evidence. I mean, it's "logical", but it's unprecedented. Better to assume it's not true, because that's the more likely option right now. But oh do I wish it was...
Seriously though, America is like king of rumors. Why don't American schools make SURE all their students have a basic understanding of all logical principles? I wager there would be a LOT less conspiracy nuts if there would just be a focus on clear critical thinking being taught in schools.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
