People receive most of their formal education throughout a time of their lives before the frontal lobe of the brain is fully developed (around the age of 25-30). This means facts are learned in the absence of some reasoning skills. This allows facts to be manipulated & be misinterpreted as truths. 'Science driven' facts tend to then be irrefutable often without individuals bothering to query why so much science from the past has been disproved (this includes the social sciences like economics).Why is this? I cannot for the life of me understand

A farming education (regardless of the fact that it is the most expensive education you can ever have) continues throughout your life when your logical & reasoning skills are fully developed. Farming is a combination of both accepting, verifying and challenging 'facts,' whilst realising that nature mocks all things including the highly educated, including meteorologists.
Science goes wrong when people trust too much & verify too little so when you hear the expression on social media "it's a scientifically proven fact," it's probably only a fact created to verify an agenda, only waiting to be disproved some time in the near future. Multitudes of industries have jumped on the government funded gravy train and won't bite the hand that feeds it, some would say these people act like sheep, but knowing sheep I can only say that's grossly unfair to sheep. Farming had a period of time on this government gravy train (and I'm not sure but farmers are more like herding cats so the government has decided it's wasting its money trying to control farmers & decided to destroy them instead - but feral cats are survivors & very innovative!
