I went to the research to prove a critic wrong about learning styles, and found out I was the one who was wrong. I had taught to them for years. I believed it, I defended it, and then I read the studies and had to throw it out.
That is the whole reason this site exists. A thing can sound good, feel right, be endorsed by people you respect, and still be false. So I test the ideas everyone already agrees with, and I show the work either way, because the method is the part you can use on something I never wrote about.
I teach mathematics and statistics, which means I spend a good deal of time with numbers that are being asked to say something they don't say.
