I remember a bunch of science books for kids in the 90s, that more or less all uniformly declared that planets were only "native" to our solar system.
Like, they couldn't even allow the possibility "We don't know" and instead decided to push lies to our feeble minds.
And then, when they were being discovered around the turn of the millenium, everyone treated extra-solar planets like something amazing. No, they're totally expected! Not finding any at all, that would've been surprising.
