It’s not a 1-1 analogy but reminds me of English sailors preventing scurvy by using lemons only to later start getting scurvy again because they used limes and copper pots.
But for a more 1-1 example: A lot of food is cooked by habit, I’m not sure how many people actually know uncooked beans or potatoes will make you sick but they all do “y” and cook them. Skipping “y” in some cases will make you sick or poisoned.
