    That’s the whole point of science, don’t trust common sense, prove it.

    This has nothing to do with common sense - it’s easily observable behavior that any experienced pet owner could tell you about.

      It’s still anecdotal evidence which turns into common sense. You need science and method to validate these things.

        You mean how the “anecdotal evidence” that the earth is actually round turned into “common sense?”

        Yeah, you’re completely right - none of that shit should be trusted until an overmoneyed dork with a fancy piece of tertiary education institution stationary shows up to prove how stupid we are for doing anything without his approval.

          Not sure why you’re getting so acid. I never said you can only believe in scientists, just pointed its usefulness to validate beliefs. Can you show me where I said it?

          You seem to have a massive negative bias against “overmoneyed dork” which I assume is scientists, so I don’t think we’re going anywhere here.

          And to further your ignorance: Ancient Greeks knew the earth was round and mathematicians helped prove it… so one of the “dorks”.
