I find it amusing when scientists spend years of research validating some common knowledge. I wish they titled the article 'mid-life crisis: it's a thing!'

- gumby 9y agoOften such studies invalidate what "everybody knows". Sometimes the corrections are major (heliocentrism, evolution), sometimes smaller. Or investigate a common phenomenon and unlock something deeper. Some of the musings in this HN thread are of that nature. I don't see any reason to sneer.
