Conventional wisdom versus facts

Many of us put a great deal of faith in conventional wisdom, because we assume that it’s a useful distillation of actual facts. If that’s your view, and you draw your conclusions based on CW, rather than on actual facts, you need a reality check and you can get one, absolutely free, here.

By the way, I’m pleased to report that, with the exception of question #7, where I got befuddled by the question’s phrasing and couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to be looking for, I answered all of the questions correctly. Apaprently I’m functioning in a factually rich universe.

UPDATE:  Were you all too kind to point out that I spelled “conventional” wrong in the post caption?  Well, I finally caught it and corrected it.  This always, always happens when I have kids around, or will imminently have kids around (meaning I’m rushing to get things done).
