"If a butterfly flaps its wings, a tsunami occurs across the world" - common belief known as the butterfly effect
I think this is an example of a ridiculous belief. How can it be? Just think about the number of tsunamis there would exist in the world and the number of butterflies in the world. We should be seeing a constant tsunami.
Since there are not that many tsunamis it must conclude that a single butterfly can not cause the effect.
BUT it still remains a common belief. So was that the Earth is flat.
Today's question is:
"How do you conclude when a common belief if completely false?"
