Honestly, this is why I really like the hard sciences.

The default human way of thinking is to revert towards ideas that are conventional, intuitive and convenient.

In the hard sciences, it is usually (but not always) celebrated when someone comes with new kick-ass evidence to overturn conventual wisdom.

Often, this celebration lags by a few years or decades and scientists often only get credit after their death.

But still, it’s better than regurgitating the same old ideas that some ancient bros thought of when they drank a bit too much mead.
