To explain my downvote: your leap from "pre-formed" to "inaccurate" is too poorly justified. Humans hold many accurate pre-formed (even inborn) opinions, like "being thirsty for a long time is bad for you".
I'm glad you explained the reason for your downvote, because it's easy to argue with.
I was not asserting that "pre-formed" means "inaccurate". I was just explaining that in this context, the University chose the words "pre-formed" to convey this meaning. Don't blame the messenger.
Later edit: If I was saying that "pre-formed" has the same meaning as "inaccurate" then why would I have used the nuanced phrase, "does the work of saying"?
