Why does this myth persist among non-officials when one never hears officials, even bad officials, mention this?

I don't have a problem with either of those calls. Particularly the PC.

PC foul was easy.

Block was marginal, IMO, but if it was called that way all game I'd have no problem with it.

Because we do hear officials, even good officials, use that as the reason for the foul. I've heard it from some that are otherwise very good officials and expect to continue hearing it. :/
