I see very few “to the best of our knowledges”
We have very limited, possibly no access to truth. This means our “truths” will always turn out wrong or at least incomplete.
Nobody needs to be blamed for that.
The problem is when people are misled or bullied by overconfident “experts”. We should all recognize the limits of our own knowledge and knowledge in general
A reminder, 65 psi 700x35 tires are no slower than 120 psi 23s. We were all
amazingly wrong.
