> Some of this stuff is common sense—it’s amazing what length people go researching certain subjects. Not sure how one can be science-minded and make statements like that. The entire point of scientific studies are to either verify the reasons for things that we may think are intuitive and also explore when that ends up falling apart (which is obviously when things get more interesting). Pretty sure it was "common sense" that the Earth was flat and that the Sun revolved around Earth not too long ago.
