Full Idea
The Hopi time myth does not appear to have been stopped for a moment by the fact that Whorf himself subsequently wrote that the Hopi language does indeed have words for past, present, and future
Clarification
The myth was that the Hopi have no concept of time, or words for it
Gist of Idea
People still say the Hopi have no time concepts, despite Whorf's later denial

A Reaction
Arguments for relativism based on the Hopi seem now to be thoroughly discredited. Sensible people never believed them in the first place.
