On Canadian national radio yesterday, the results of a test were read which had to do with the preference to have scientists 'understand' things for us.
The mock new discovery was that scientists now understand helium rain.
Group 1 was told that scientists have now discovered this fact or phenomenon and understand it. The group was then asked if they thought that there really was such a thing. 85% affirmed that.
Group 2 was told that scientists have discovered it but can't explain it. Only 10% of the group believed it actually happens.
