Hmm...I see. I asked some people from my school about what they know about the samurai, and most of them, if not all, told me things that they probably got by watching Rurouni Kenshin or by playing games like Onimusha. One or two even told me that they thought the samurai were invincible warriors until they got to see The Last Samurai.

To be honest, I just couldn't help but notice a pattern in idiocy.
EVERYONE was making the same basic mistakes. (The eleventh one came
later, after by some strange coincidence about 3 or 4 people on the
forum starting saying how 'samurai loved and served the emperor with
their life, every single one'. And they've kept coming.) As for my
sources, basically just common real knowledge on the samurai. If I
had to make a bibliography, I suppose it would
read: 'Tony', 'Kitsuno', 'evalerio', 'LTdomer', 'Maikeru', 'nagaeyari
', 'Tsubame'... (sorry if I've left someone's name out!)

though, how were you able to come up with all those misconceptions?
Did you use other sources or did you like conduct a survey regarding
what people thought about the samurai?
