Self-evident assumptions are often wrong.

My family did not eat chili, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, etc. growing up. I’ve spent my adult life making up for lost meals.

I taught 30+ years… damned if I can remember any students’ score on anything. It’s almost like those weren’t the most important thing.

Want a sure sign the author is a scientist? They use the phrase, “I was wrong.”

No, actually the data do not support your decision.

It’s 2025. Don’t lie about things that can so easily be checked.

If you really understand it, then you don’t overreact to “the new study.”
