I wonder when The Charles Darwin Trust @darwintrust will be renamed? After all who'd "trust" the liar & science fraudster by plagiarism Charles Darwin? Hardly seems like an appropriate name does it. Maybe call it The Plagiarist Liar & Science Fraud Trust? https://t.co/cqm6qfdZPn pic.twitter.com/aClCo4bEXK

Supermyths are myths about myths that are created and compounded by experts, spread by pseudo-skeptics and destroyed by evidence. Braced myths are a sub-type of supermyth, created by orthodox expert authorities that are so powerful they are believed to be true by respected scholars who unwittingly promote them as examples of the need to be healthily sceptical of counterknowledge and then, with unintended irony, use them as argument winners to refute other fallacious knowledge.
