Sometimes when I read about a new study, I find myself thinking "duh, of course" or "why did we need a study to prove this super obvious thing". I have to remind myself that its always valuable to check assumptions and we can learn a lot even by studying obvious questions.

Yeah but it seems to be happening a lot more.

This is literally thousands of years-old knowledge. At some point maybe we could call it settled and move on?
