Fish still breathe with their gills, right? It just doesn't seem like there is really enough dissolved oxygen in water.
Don't you want to just be sure? Go on, check. I won't tell anyone.
This is a very good thing. If you don't know something, you can always look it up to figure it out, but there are so many times where people incorrectly think they already know about things, so they never look them up and realize they were wrong the whole time.
This is basically the foundation of the scientific process
I’m older than the internet, so I have no choice but to question what I know. In the 80s and 90s many of us were obsessed with memorizing useless facts. They were a fun part of conversation prior to limitless access to information.
It’s bananas how much of what I memorized is false. Some of it even came from my teachers. This is a fun and interesting read that I highly recommend for anyone who attended public school in the US. This isn’t limited to age, however. Many of these falsities are still present in our curriculum.

Mandela Effect is a thing. The impulse to verify your understanding is a good thing, in contrast with people so stubborn they’d rather double down than admit they could be wrong.
