We try to correct some persistent misconceptions which are preventing progress in current research. These include failure to take note of highly cogent facts and theorems, semantic confusions over terminology, and clinging to folklore long after it is obsolete.

It is a folklore result in arithmetic complexity that the number of multiplication gates required to compute a worst-case n-variate polynomial of degree d is at least

A folklore result uses the Lovász local lemma to analyze the discrepancy of hypergraphs with bounded degree and edge size. We generalize this result to the context of real matrices with bounded row and column sums.
