JA WestenbergThings that are fake:
- Alpha males (debunked by the original researcher)
- MSG causing headaches (never replicated)
- Learning styles (no evidence)
Things that are real:
- People will believe anything if it confirms their priors

I think there's a nuance with the learning style: some people like receiving information in different styles.
It just turns out this has no effect on whether they retain the information.
And that back in the real world of teaching, various bits of information are more readily expressed in different ways.
