>How many impressionable or young people have been fooled into believing history that never happened?
I would say, all of them. Since the dawn of history. Actually, far before, as treachery certainly precedes speech itself by a few million years in the struggle to survive game.
Just to take a contemporary western (mostly?) thing: how did it went last time you looked straight into the eyes of kids to reveal them Santa Clauss is a lie and yes almost all adults in their society are into that evil conspiracy? And what about the adult around you deeply attached to their national myths, not even mentioning all the folklore around their afterlife beliefs?
But don’t worry, everything is going to go well, I promise and you know you can trust me. :)
