Tradition and common sense are so fundamental that you're really going to have a hard time with this statement, and what does "wrong" mean exactly?

Brushing your teeth 2x a day is a tradition and common sense. You do it not because you've studied the literature and know for sure it's the most optimal way to maintain dental health, but because you we're taught to do it that way, it seems to work well enough, and everyone else does it too.

Does that make it wrong? Does that mean the vast majority of your daily life, as riddled with tradition and common sense as it is, is wrong? I don't think so.
