There ARE people who subscribe to that premise, Amos! Here are some other false premises which can distort one's powers of observation:

All men are beasts!

All women either whores or virgins!

You can't trust anybody!

Life is hard, then you die.

Nothing works out! (a former girlfriend of mine subscribed to that one...and nothing did, for her...or she didn't notice if it did)

Making money is all that really matters.

Winning is all that really matters.

Not getting caught is all that really matters.

Looking good is all that matters.

Pleasing other people is what really matters.

"All women are naturally attracted to ME, because I have a big penis, and that basically makes me pretty irresistible to 'em, know'm'sayin'???"

LOL!!! All of the above are horribly false premises, and just look at the various idiotic and destructive behaviours they lead to. Yet they are surprisingly common beliefs in modern society.
