InZIHdente Triste

Sometimes these ideas become accepted and then scientists come along and see if they are really true.
Two examples I can think of are the idea that women living together (such as at a college sorority) start menstruating in synchrony after a few months--numerous textbooks told us this in the 80s in 90s and it was recently refuted.
Another is that dogs and other mammals can smell with much greater sensitivity than humans. Some guy at Rutgers, McGann, asserted that this is not true, with much fanfare, but he did it in the form of a review paper, not a research paper, and I am very skeptical. I have seen what dogs are capable of with my own eyes.
Let's see if the shark mistaking the human for a seal theory will withstand the test of time.
Seems to be holding up so far.
