One of the most fun things about psychology is that everything sounds intuitive and obvious, even if wrong.

There's an anecdote about a professor telling his students on the first day of a Psychology class, "some things about this field are obvious common sense — for instance, a baby won't recognize and prefer more attractive people as they're unaware of beauty standards."

The class all agrees, and the professor says "JK, babies actually do! Welcome to Psychology."
