In my opinion that is only a myth

No, I mean literally in Chinese the words for 14 are broken up into the word for "ten" and the word for "four".
The word for ten in Chinese is very similar to a word implying certainty and the word four is only a tone away from a word implying death.
I'm not sure how you would consider that a myth.
