It is a myth because no one knows anything about it.
The Thoreau feel that the people who serve the state have the same worth as dogs or horses and that they should receive no more respect then a man of straw or a lump of dirt, so these people feel that working for the state rarely make any moral distinctions,and it also says in the paragraph that they are likely to serve the devil.
