If you disagree, can you give examples of historical claims made in school that average adults disbelieve?

Not disbelieve, just don't remember, aren't aware of anymore, 10 or 30 years later.

Certainly, some things are forgotten, but I expect other things are remembered, particularly when people encounter direct questions about the subject. And those that are remembered, are typically there from school.
