Mike Sutton's discovery of the Darwin Supermyth. Watch the video on Amazon HERE
Supermyths, of which braced myths are a sub-type - are ironic unintended, or else a deliberate and disingenuous, consequences of fallacy dissemination. Supermyths have three very specific components:
1. The creation of a fallacy, myth or error by an orthodox expert
2. it being used by another expert who in turn promotes it as being ‘true’ and
3. whilst still thinking that it is true, promotes it as a good example of the need to be healthily sceptical of bad scholarship.
Moreover, fourthly:
Braced myths are supermyths that have been pointedly deployed by orthodox scholars in order to bust another specific myth or fallacy. The braced myth hypothesis is that using one myth as a specific mythbusting device in this way braces the supermyth to make it further entrenched and therefore more difficult to prevent it being credulously disseminated as veracious knowledge.
It is a proven fallacy that Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace (1858/59) were each first to independently conceive the full theory of evolution by natural selection. This is because top Darwin experts such as Richard Dawkins and Darwin medal winners Sir Gavin de Beer and Ernst Mayr (to name just a few) write that Patrick Matthew (1831) was in fact first into print with the entire theory. The myth that Darwin should have priority for Matthew's prior published theory is based on the falsehood knowingly spread by Darwin that no single person read Matthew's theory. In fact Darwin's and Wallace's influencers and their influencers, among others also newly discovered, had read and cited Matthew's book. For these facts and many more in this story read the book Science Fraud. More than one artificial intelligence system finds Charles Darwin guilty of knowingly lying about Matthew's (1831) prior readership. Hence the Supermyth of Darwin being an honest originator of the theory of evolutuion by natural selection is busted by the empirical data and logical reasoning based on it. Here

The Spinage Supermyth Positively Affirmed as a Problem in Science in the British Medical Journal
I am delighted to see the importance of the Spinach Supermyth, which I (Dr Mike Sutton) discovered in 2009, is now positively affirmed as a problem in the British Medical Journal in 2023. The free PDF of that important article is available to download HERE
The BMJ page on it is HERE (archived HERE)
Dr Harries, a major spreader of the masks supermyth and heavily criticised in the press in 2023 (here), was the inspiration for the poem on managerialism entitled "going forward". Because she was constantly using the over-promoted idiot signaling ludicrous corporate buzzterm "going forward" in news briefs on COVID19.
