Yes, but I think you'd agree that replacing the sentence in the story - a bit of dialog spoken to a 10 year old - with your paragraph would not be an improvement.
I was never arguing that. But if you wish, the sentence in the story is not just oversimplified, it's just ignorant and wrong. I would never tell my child such things.

Unless you were ignorant and wrong, and it's what you believed.
