[MD] Conventional wisdom?

[Ian Glendinning]

Only in the definitional sense Arlo ... no big deal.

Whilst (conventionally) using the ideas of wisdom and truth and
knowledge (like these scientists here before the new evidence about
the sedimentary rock source of nitrogen) you wouldn't qualify it with
the term.

They only added the qualifier "conventional" after you've discovered
it's not the "actual" scientific knowledge - with hindsight.

Pragmatically all truth knowledge or wisdom is conventional - it's
just that the convention you choose varies.
A redundant concept, pragmatically. No big deal.
