These harmful ideas are often found through scientific experiments and are often independently corroborated through peer review, becoming the consensus. Unfortunately, those peers might have the same blindspots as you, and might not notice the errors you didn’t see because they have the same perspective. This is why diversity in science is so important. Thousands of people with similar perspectives aren’t as helpful as hundreds of people with wildly different perspectives.
Science isn’t as clean or objective as we’d like it to be. Race science was considered a valid science when the entire scientific community consisted of rich white supremacists. The consensus view recognizes their theories as “science” now, but their theories were the actual science of their day. Peer review isn’t magic. There are always limitations.
You shouldn’t have to also take statistics to know what a statistically significant sample set is when determining whether or not something has been sufficiently peer-reviewed, but maybe for you specifically, it would be useful 🤷♂️

I hope for humanity’s sake you don’t actually work in any scientific field. We need fewer embodiments of the Dunning–Kruger effect, not more.
Paging Dr. Irony, will Dr. Irony please come to the comment section?
