Reminds me of the time I got a quiz question wrong; who was the first Man on the Moon.

I wasn't born, but everything I've ever read said it was Neil Armstrong, so that's what I answered.

The idiot quiz master said it was Buzz Aldrin (the second man). In disbelief, I tried to educate them of their error, only for the rest of the room, mainly boomers, to tell me I was wrong. Including one guy in his 80s who said "It was definitely Buzz. I watched it when it happened. I remember it well".

I asked him "who said the famous 'one small step for man'?"

Him: "Ahh yes, Now that was Armstrong."

Me: "Surely Buzz would say those words if he was the first one out. I mean there is literally video of the event. You even watched it live"

Him: "Yes, it's Armstrong in the video. But Buzz was definitely first out. Who do you think was holding the camera?"
