I agree that "Physical Science Applied to Correct Common Misconceptions" is not as sexy a title as MythBusters!, but there are a huge range of infinitely better ways to communicate "widely believed and false", deploying ideas like "groupthink", "propaganda", "mass psychosis", and more. Having "groups of other people sure are stupid!" be the most commonly used idea of Myth is like shrugging your shoulders every time somebody reduces another human being to "a nice piece of ass." One must at least give them the squinty eyeball and ask "Really?" Digging down into how belief works (more than what is believed, often) beneath the stories being told, i.e. practicing a mythological point of view, is one of the most essential and widely neglected skill-sets of our era. image credit: http://www.jamiesanford.com/2010/10/13/mythbusters-talking-bobbleheads/
