DA

A bit off topic but actually yes. Studies do get done on things that "are really obvious" because that's what studies do, provide evidence that proves or disproves hypotheses. Sometimes the results are surprising, sometimes the results are totally expected, but studies are done in order to have the numbers and stats and evidence there to point to, whether it's to support or disprove a belief.

People say psych studies that prove factually that "things everyone knows" are true are useless, but they're not; they're providing concrete stats to show that everyone is correct in certain beliefs.

"It is known (but there are no studies to prove it, just trust me, it is known)" is a really bad argument, scientifically speaking.

NAYRT

okay, but, like, there is a point in discourse where asking for sources on things like that is not constructive

there are some things that you have to just accept as - at least - reasonable suppositions. there has to be a line. like, you can't reduce every internet argument to first-principles arguments about epistemology and ontology

unless you're Heidegger, I guess. Heidegger would totally fucking do that.

AYRT

Oh I wasn't speaking up in defense of either side, I was answering AIRT's question about whether studies are done on "obvious" things and for what reason. Hence, off topic, purely about studies.

And as AYRT, thank you! I don't really follow studies or statistics or things like that outside of medicine (I play with drugs all day~) so it's cool to know that studies are getting done specifically to prove, "Yes what most of you think is correct/incorrect, stfu." XD

AYRT

You're welcome! Fields like sociology and psychology get that question a ton :)
