I agree mostly with the latter, though the former may also apply to some people. Thanks.

There is also The Legend of Chekhov but I could never figure what makes it different from All Myths Are True.

I agree. Thanks.
A trope for which someone reads or hears stories about something (usually fairy tales or mythology, and thinks they are just that... until they actually encounter it.
Example 1: In The Borrowers (1997), Exterminator Jeff lampshades it when he says he only heard stories of Borrowers, and thought they were just stories
Example 2: An inversion. In Fern Gully The Last Rainforest, for many years, humans only existed in Fern Gully’s “human tales”, until Zack appeared.
