A common misconception is a viewpoint or\\xa0factoid\\xa0that is often accepted as true but which is actually false. They generally arise from\\xa0conventional wisdom\\xa0(such as\\xa0old wives\' tales),\\xa0stereotypes,\\xa0superstitions,\\xa0fallacies, a misunderstanding of science, or the popularization of\\xa0pseudoscience. Some common misconceptions are also considered to be\\xa0urban legends, and they are often involved in\\xa0moral panics.
