The only thing that's clear is that every source I can find contradicts your claim, and suggests that it is in fact you who doesn't "get" it.

So, talking about my "deeply rooted misapprehensions" is just hand-waving, instead of offering counter-evidence.

But of course you probably have a life, so I don't expect you to spend hours going back and forth about this. All I would encourage you to do is face the very probably fact that those wikipedia entries are correct, and you were just confused before. No reason to feel bad about that. Mistakes happen.
