I find way too many people talking about “common sense” as if that was even a thing. It frustrates me to no end.

“common sense”
A set of assumptions(usually false) acquired before age 12.

I’m wondering how you are measuring “common sense” that arrives at “usually false.” Are you ignoring obviously common sense things, like “the sky is up” – since that’s just common sense?

Well I didn’t say the sky isn’t also down.
