I always find it a little interesting when people think they understand light.I don't understand what you mean with the mirror one. Like I think I actually do, but there can't be people that don't understand that right?
There are plenty of lighting conditions in real life that don't look the way most people would expect.
I think people really underestimate how much light bounces around and how much the color can be affected by these things.
If you look in an angle towards a mirror, you can see things that are not being shown to the mirror. If you hold your hand up to the mirror, you are able to see the back of your hand in the mirror.
I remember someone was using that as evidence for something because they were certain that it was impossible.
And some of these people, I think are reasonably knowledgeable.
On a similar note I think the same thing every time a movie has a character look at themselves in the mirror. Movies often cheat and in real life the person isn't looking at their reflection.
