That's pretty insulting to Will Rogers, comparing him to the cable guy. But let that pass. I have a better definition of Myth: "What never was true, and always will be."

LOL, that’s pretty good, I’m going to use that.
Did you ever read the book “The Daughter of Time” by Josephine Tey?
It is novel, one of a series about a police detective in England. In this book he has been severely injured (I think he fell through a skylight or something) and is laid up for several months. Out of boredom he “re-investigates” the murders of the “tower princes” by Richard III.
It it most interesting and gives many good examples of “myths” as per your definition.
I thought the same thing when I read that. Good grief, if that isn’t the ultimate example of an idiot thinking just because something is of today it is better than anything in the past.
