Our understanding of science constantly changes as we learn new things. Do you think we shouldn't teach kids science because we might learn something new that shows what we used to know was wrong?

    No. What? The fuck?

    Did only one person understand what I said? The other replies and downvotes suggest not.

    Pluto is a planet, Columbus discovered America, deoxygenated blood is blue, camels store water in their humps, gum stays inside you for 7 years if you swallow it, the Great Wall is visible from space, the tongue has individual zones for detecting flavors, and Iraq definitely has WMDs.

    Don't fault them for misunderstanding. After all, we can only actually use 10% of our brain.
