    Most of those errors were the same wrong answer, there appears to a widely distributed myth that any primary index is clustered unless it is declared as unclustered. I knew that such a myth existed, but I thought it was so often debunked that only a small proportion of people still believed it.

    I don't think I'd call it a myth so much as an incomplete understanding of index creation pertaining to primary keys. Since the default is, in fact, a clustered index, many may never have considered the possibility that there was any other option. I know I hadn't. But I don't think I would describe my situation as tantamount to having mindlessly bought into a long-debunked ghost story that of course nobody in the modern age believes anymore.
