   You are right, it's one of those amazingly powerful modern myths.   
   Apparently, there's something in it that people _want_ to believe. The   
   same thing with the age-old misconception that "we only use about 10% of   
   our brain capacity" (again, this is not true!). Somehow it seems, I   
   don't know, comforting to a lot of people? And of course, you get to   
   blame other people for "only using their left brain" when all else fails   
   and they're rejecting your point .)
