Ever tried to un-learn something?

A lot of the things I was taught in the 90s just isn't true. And some of the things that are true have an extremely low effect, barely testable. And a lot of the "oh that sounds logical", isn't true either. Such as flossing reducing dental caries - no actual data on it - dsnt seem to do much of anything.

Here are a couple more things:

• You only use 10% of your brain
• Swimming after eating will give you cramps.
• Napoleon was short.
• The great wall of china is visible from space.
• Your tongue has different taste regions.
• Everything surrounding the Coriolis force as portrayed by magazines in the 90s.
• Cracking knuckles cause Arthritis
• Coffee dehydrates you.
• A brown-eyed man or woman cannot have a child that has another eye colour.

Same same. It's fine being wrong.

But yeah, at some point you have to just look at the data and accept things for what they are.
