Fruit and vegetables being separate categories: Fruits are actually a type of vegetable. Additionally cucumbers are melons.

Cyan being a light blue: It is actually 50% green.

Simple machines are fundamental: They completely ignore compliant mechanisms and aren't atomic. Actually atomic mechanisms would be defined by the type of force, the shape, and the compliance.

The only form of Socialism is Marxism and Communism and Capitalism means markets: Look up Mutualism or Syndicalism.

Basically everything with pop psychology.

I am sure there are more, but these were just top of my head.

What high school did you go to that they were discussing Marxism and communism. Most schools don't really get that advanced and don't go much beyond teaching about the major wars.
