Myths are a key concept in organisational symbolism, a form on analyzing organisations popular amongst academics who can't count and have nothing better to do than refine idiocy. Notions of organisational culture are built on them and all of politics, including those of chimps. Science tends not to like them and has long exposed myths and fables for what they are, without realising it should have exposed them as things of the past that are irrelevant other than in the way they get in the way of thinking up new ones about possible futures and in what remains of them in the practices of science itself in holding back imagination. Religion too recognized this eons ago. Advertising attempts to create and manipulate them. I find them easier to live without than Radio 4, though it's hard to enjoy a good story without being swooned by them.
