I would agree that it is "common knowledge" that Ada was designed by
committee in that it is a very common view held by a lot of people who
consider it to be knowledge, and not just unverified rumour.

However we all agree that it is better termed "urban myth", and I think
this is what David Starner was trying to imply.

Please don't shoot the messenger just because you don't like the 
message.
