"most people" is likely geographically influenced. I'm guessing you're in the US.

In the UK and Ireland, where the dish originated, "most people" would tell you it's a Shepherd's pie because shepherds herd she(e)p, not cows.

I'm an American, and I too know the difference between cottage and Shepherd's pie. Some people never leave their small towns and assume their experience and limited knowledge is universal.

I'm in Ireland and 90% of the time I've had shepherd's pie it has been beef
