    People still eat their carrots thinking it improves their vision.

    I mostly agree with you, but but I haven’t seen evidence either way saying it doesn’t have this effect.

      Just because something hasn’t been proven one way or the other doesn’t mean you should just believe either of them on a whim.

      It’s totally okay to hold beliefs tenuously and then not feel attached to them when they’re proven wrong.

      It happened to me here in this thread. I stated cows milk leeched calcium, but it doesn’t, I was misinformed. There’s no shame in admitting I was wrong, but it reminds me to be more cautious about assertions of fact in the future.

      I don’t want to be wrong any longer than I need to be.
