They are convinced that the Miners validate the transactions, when in fact the actual ledger is done at node level and the Miners are handed finished blocks of transactions by the Nodes (All miners are also Nodes, but not all Nodes are also Miners) and told to give the answer to a very hard math problem and then they race to be the first one done. Nodes make sure the miners are not cheating by modifying the block (phony transaction) they were given. For some reason there are some people who will simply not accept this fact, even when how it actually works and presented with incontrovertible proof they will simply not accept it. I don't know why. Gratuitous old school Bitcoin mining lass running a node on her retro cased P4 hotrod PC because why not. We have a 50's tech Antminer sitting on top of the case there, too.
