I know it won't, but people are driven to do it anyway.
They do it in every capital, part and parcel of living there.

But King Canute was actually demonstrating that even a king didn't have the power

Well you were taught it wrong
it may not even have happened, but the principle of the story was that Canute was demonstrating that even a king was a subject of God and couldn't control the tide.
