Nehaveigur

A 2012 blog post recently dug out by Slime Mold Time Mold points out that

It is very difficult to discern the difference between Conventional Wisdom and Conventional Ignorance.

For example, it may be fine to put a toaster in a dishwasher, despite everyone with a shred of common sense “knowing” that’s a bad idea. I was skeptical, but I thought I’d try it since my toaster is very cheap, very old and very dirty. As I added the dishwasher tab and chose a cycle, I was praying that I wasn’t about to fall prey to a 12-year-old prank.

I’m now able to report that after drying out in the sun, my toaster still works and is considerably cleaner and that my skepticism of Conventional Wisdom has marginally increased.
