I can.

Every week I run into people new to ANSI/EDIFACT EDI who have a lot of 
preconceived notions..in addition to misunderstanding the meaning of 
ISA14.....
.
- Element delimiter is ALWAYS "*"
- Delimiters are always the same for all interchanges in any one physical 
file
- Sender/Receiver IDs at functional group level are always the same as IDs 
at ISA level
- There is some one-to-one relationship between ISA 12 and GS06 version 
values, e.g., if GS06=''004010" then ISA12 MUST equal "00401"
- ANSI EDI data is *always* formatted one segment per line (with CRLF 
termination)
- Elvis frequently visits the Mall of America in Minneapolis
- ANSI/EDIFACT EDI is obsolete, having been superceded by XML-format 
documents (which are easy to implement because there is never any ambiguity 
regarding the meaning of a tag)
- If you've never touched an ANSI/EDIFACT EDI system but are otherwise 
bright and hardworking you can implement a new system and do it well, from 
scratch - by yourself - without any training or support from an EDI 
professional.

All absolutely false, except of course the Elvis thing. I just threw that in 
to see if everyone was paying attention.
