The thought is comforting, but it is not a lie.
A fabrication that got passed on generation after generation, because it was convenient.
The common person is now "powerful" enough to see past that convenience and realize the story for what it is...
Some cling to the story, for its comforting value, yes... some day, that will not be required, one hopes... the story will lose its appeal, its allure and will fade away into myth and legend, like many other similar stories have fallen.
