This is definitely something he was told by his jokester dad or uncle when he was 8 and then never had the idea challenged since then.
That’s entirely possible. He didn’t know where the thought originated, just that he “always thought that’s how it worked.” He saw the flaw when I asked him about piggy surgeries. His face was priceless.
That's still a shocking amount of willful ignorance.
