If this belief isn't held to be specific to the group in question (the gods will kill only the babies of our tribe upon such an event), foreigners really ought to come visit and demonstrate a safe clitoris-touching delivery.
Have public demonstrations ever dispelled a superstition? The only story I've ever heard along these lines is Robert Johnson eating the tomato. One should ask, also, how many public demonstrations have been attempted; most superstitions are probably not precise enough. I suppose, say, Randi, does things along these lines.
And I don't think that actually happened, either. People in America seem to have been eating tomatoes well before that was supposed to have happened.
