in charlie and the chocolate factory (2005) (the best version imo b/c i saw it as a kid and the magic only works around then) a lady said that chocolate is an aphrodisiac and i've completely internalized that as true.

i hope it is, it sort of makes sense. people buy chocolates on valentines day

This is just nitpicking. Aktually a chicken is a dinosaur.

The best kind of picking!!

Jokes aside though, where do you draw the line between calling out a misconception, and nitpicking?

I think the question of the extinction of an entire clade of animals is a reasonably significant misconception, personally.
