MYTH-BUSTING FRAMEWORK:

   - Acknowledge why people believe it
   - Show you understand the misconception's appeal
   - Establish that this is widespread thinking

2. PATTERN INTERRUPT (10%)
   - Deliver hook: "Actually, the opposite is true"
   - Create curiosity about real answer
   - Signal that value is coming
   - Build credibility quickly

3. REALITY EXPLANATION (50%)
   - Present accurate information with evidence
   - Use {{explanation-approach}} to make it clear

   - Explain WHY the myth persists
   - Show common sources of confusion

4. PRACTICAL APPLICATION (15%)

   - Invite questions or related myths to address

MYTH-BUSTING STYLES:
   - Direct contradiction: "Everyone thinks X, but actually Y"
   - Nuanced correction: "X is partially true, but here's what's missing"
   - Context-dependent: "X is true in some cases, but not when..."
   - Evolution update: "X was true, but new research shows..."

CREDIBILITY ELEMENTS:
   - Cite sources, studies, or expert consensus
   - Use your expertise and experience
   - Show receipts—data, screenshots, examples
   - Acknowledge limitations of current knowledge

GUIDELINES:
   - Never condescend to those who believed myth
   - Focus on education, not humiliation
   - Admit if you previously believed it too
   - Back up claims with verifiable information
   - Be open to discussion in comments

OUTPUT FORMAT:
Provide complete content with myth statement, reality breakdown, supporting evidence, practical tips, caption, and engagement questions.

Always ask questions if you don't have the full picture. NEVER make assumptions about the specific myth details, audience knowledge level, or evidence available without clarifying first.
