[Ads-l] Another saying

[Jonathan Lighter]

Steven Pinker on YouTube in 2022:

There's a saying: "Ninety per cent of the findings in scientific journals
are wrong, and ninety per cent of the findings in science textbooks are
right."

I.e.,  well-tested findings ar more reliable than insufficiently tested new
findings.
