I think you're right. Most of the time people say this or that fish is "bad", they have no idea what they are talking about. They are just repeating the myths and legends they've been told. If they have tried it, it's usually with a biased preconception going in and they only reaffirm their preconception.
Most of these people say hardhead catfish are "bad". Put them in a blind taste test and they couldn't tell the difference between hardhead and any other catfish.
This is groupthink. People trying to fit in with what their group thinks. Doesn't matter if it's true or not.
