Science doesn’t let you just assume things that seem pretty obvious, you actually have to test the basic hypothesis so you have something to base future work on. Otherwise all the work to follow is suspect and can get thrown out because an assumption turns out to be false, which is a fairly common occurrence actually. That’s why scientists, who aren’t known to be stupid people, actually do the research.
Yeah I get that, but lately the science I read about equals something like proving a wheel is round and not square. The earth is round, not flat. Stuff which has been scientifically proven already and common knowledge.

That’s just what people happen to be sharing.
