Document Summary
The belief that we see the world precisely as it is (what you think can form how you do the research but the research can"t form the way you think) Science is an approach to evidence not a body of knowledge (do you use a scienti c method to come to your results) People think that a theory explains just one event or is just an educated guess which is wrong. Set of claims that seem scienti c but lack defences from con rmation bias and belief perseverance that characterize science. Capturing people"s attention: over reliance on anecdotes. This one person did our thing and never had a symptom again: absence of link to other research. Punching yourself in the guys will increase your memory. There is no research you must prove it yourself: lack of peer review. 1000 studies all conducted by us showed the same results no you can"t see them. Distraction changes memory: lack of self-correction.
