There are some fundamentally incorrect assumptions that have become gospel.

So go ahead and point them out. My guess is that in the ensuing debate it will be found that 1/4 of them are indeed fundamentally incorrect assumptions, 1/4 of them are arguably correct, and 1/2 of them are not really "assumptions that have become gospel". But until you provide your list, there is no way to know.
