Myth of the Brown Recluse
There’s this concept that any time you see a new story where the topic is your area of expertise, it’s baffling how completely inaccurate the story is.<p>And then we all keep reading stories about areas in which we aren’t experts, and it doesn’t occur to us that are likely equally misleading.<p>Because if we all factored that in, we wouldn’t believe any news.<p>And I guess we feel better thinking we know what’s going on, rather than acknowledging we are in the dark.
