10. Perhaps the knowledge vs truth boundaries aren't what you surmised
There is and has been a lot of "common knowledge" that scientific truth has proven to be completely false.
The world is flat If you drive faster than 28 mph it will suck the wind out of your lungs Cats are the Devil's familiars so we need to kill all cats (whoops, caused the bubonic plague. Oh well) The sun rotates around the Earth
I could go on... but you get the idea. Truth is an absolute. Gravity works no matter where on Earth you are (and its effects correspond to the theory and it can be measured precisely for any altitude). That is truth.
