That was fascinating. Ditto the link in the post to the article on names, which they cited as inspiration for writing it: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/?ref=flightaware.engineering
There are also lists for time and date and for phone numbers. It's an article format that I love because it gives you a lot of insight into a topic even if it's not your field of knowledge.
Although I recall that some of them don't include links to explanations or info about the falsehoods; I like that this aviation one did do that.
Yes, met too, sometimes I'm not able to work out the counterexample by myself.
That is a classic, one of which I sadly expedienced personally.
