Modern medicine has its myths like "humors" as well, for example the long standing myth that depression is caused by an imbalance of serotonin. To this day doctors prescribe SSRIs to "treat" the imbalance of serotonin, which have been statistically shown in placebo studies to have zero effect on depression, yet they still prescribe them. It's just as mythological as humoric imbalances.
