■■■■■
This effect relates to the perceived width and openness of the Strait of Hormuz, the critical chokepoint at the entrance to the Persian Gulf, often remembered as wider.

What People Remember
Many recall the Strait of Hormuz as being a much wider, less constricted waterway than its actual relatively narrow passage.
◉
What's Actually True
The Strait of Hormuz, though strategically vital, is relatively narrow at its widest point (around 96 km or 60 miles) with shipping lanes even narrower.
