Do you disagree that it is the most common assumption ?
What fact is being distorted ?
There is at least some basis for the assumption , it's not in the same league as sacred hills , stones transported to Stonehenge etc .
Whether the baths were dedicated to Minerva in her manifestation as a healing goddess has yet to be shown as fact (so far you have only provided a link to the Roman Baths website that, far from supporting your assumption (which you appear to be claiming as a given here, does not mention the healing aspect of the goddess at all. To continue, therefore, to advance your assumption without more (if not much stronger) evidence could, as I said above, be distorting historical fact.
Best keep an open mind on the matter until we have more evidence :-)
