The beautiful bell curve of scientific understanding! In the middle, we have the 68% of people who understand that germs cause disease—our rational peak of the normal distribution. Then we have the identical 34% on each side who are getting... creative with their theories. But the true galaxy brains? Those 0.1% outliers on both extremes who've circled back to medieval "miasma theory" where bad air and evil spirits cause illness! Nothing says scientific progress like accidentally returning to 17th century medicine! Fun fact: doctors used to wear those creepy plague masks filled with herbs because they thought disease spread through "noxious air." Turns out they were accidentally practicing primitive airborne pathogen protection!
