The problem of living a relatively long life is you've seen science change too many times. It hasn't made any practical difference in my life but I hit the era where conventional current flow was being replaced with electron flow in some circles and some were jiggering Fleming's little visual aid. I'm left handed which tends to lead to confusion anyway (right mouse button?) and that was the last thing I needed. As far as the squishier sciences I've visited places like National Park historic sites and when visiting at a later time have noticed the signage has been replaced with a new Just So story. In a discussion with a IRL friend last week I remarked that when I was taught history in grade and high school we knew Vortigern invited Horsa and Hengist over to fight off the Picts. Between the linguists, archaeologists and geneticists I don't even know what the current revealed truth is other than some agreement that Gildas made shit up and Bede expanded on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glendive_Dinosaur_and_Fossil_Museum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_the_Rockies The Museum of the Rockies does its share of guessing but I'm more inclined to believe their tales than thinking that humans were riding dinosaurs 6000 years ago.
