Bad fuel gauges?

Despite my years of fighting ignorance, many pilots still seem to believe that the fuel gauge only has to be accurate when it reads 0. In fact, I have seen both Rod Machado and the Kings assert this. We have an uphill fight, my brother. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor Rod Machado. I have his audio CD book and it may well be that this is where I heard the idea of being accurate only when full or empty. I can't remember at the moment but I'll find out. Maybe the only-accurate-on-empty myth started as one of Rod's jokes and got out of hand.
