The idea that Eva "ran out of budget"
The idea that Anno "left Kare Kano"
The idea that Redline "bankrupted its studio"
The idea that Angel's Egg was about Oshii "losing his faith"
The idea that Cowboy Bebop "wasn't successful in Japan" (or Ghost Stories for that matter)
There's a billion of these and people just keep parroting them even after they've been debunked. I suspect the whole King of the Hill "sub vs. dub debate" is fake as well.
