I love when someone publishes a paper that's basically "Why is [super basic thing]?".

"Why do we like looking at pretty things" is a pretty amazing question to ask.

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.

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