Comments in this thread got me thinking about the problem of learning things that are wrong:

This made me curious about what divers were taught that was wrong as opposed to incomplete, overly simplified, a different technique, or less efficient. I have trouble recalling anything that I discovered was wrong, with the possible exception of cutting an exhaust hose on a double hose regulator being deadly on episodes of Sea Hunt.
Sure I have heard things that were really wrong in conversations (and on this board), but they didn’t stand long before somebody steeped in with the, or at least a, right answer.
