have been wondering recently what my blind spots are, what are beliefs I have that are unexamined or based on too little evidence for how much I believe them ...

maybe there are common patterns, that people commonly believe false things and I might be challenged in my own beliefs this way

this is a good one, tbh a lot of science I just accept uncritically, e.g. The Big Bang as an explanation- though it seems unlikely to be false, maybe I should educate myself more on this topi, thanks!

This is a cheating one, may be 10% of the physicist have a rough idea on the amount of evidence making it a fact hard to challenge, and max be 100 persons have a deep knowledge of it.
