Let's spread some musical misinformation

The octave will replaced by the semi-dodecave in 2020. Musicologists finally agreed on having a 12 semitone based system.
The semi-dodecave system is actually incorrect terminology. There are 13 notes in an octave. For a c octave, you need to have both c's, a beginning and an end. So there are 13 semitones in an octave.

I think Victor would agree.

(Apologies to Victor who I admire greatly).
 
It occurred to me that this thread should be titled "Let's spread some musical DISinformation". Misinformation is simply information that is wrong, regardless of intent. Disinformation is information that is intentionally wrong. So, since we're just a bunch of stinkin' liars ... ;):woot:
While you may post disinformation, everything I post is true.

Boris Johnson is one of the most accomplished guitar players in Great Britain. He is one of only a handful of players in the world that can play below the capo.
 
Time signatures for prog rock must contain prime numbers. For prog metal, one of the numbers must also be 13.

Examples of prog rock time signatures include 3/2, 2/3, 5/7, 11/23
Examples of prog metal time signatures include 13/2, 13/7, 5/13 19/13

The most difficult time signature for prog drummers is 1/1

Maybe "musical deformation" will do?
