    That’s the whole point of science, don’t trust common sense, prove it.

    This has nothing to do with common sense - it’s easily observable behavior that any experienced pet owner could tell you about.

      It’s still anecdotal evidence which turns into common sense. You need science and method to validate these things.

        You mean how the “anecdotal evidence” that the earth is actually round turned into “common sense?”

        Yeah, you’re completely right - none of that shit should be trusted until an overmoneyed dork with a fancy piece of tertiary education institution stationary shows up to prove how stupid we are for doing anything without his approval.
