When Is “Received Wisdom” Not So Wise?

Here’s a simple sample. “Received wisdom” is that someone walking, say in a forest or somewhere without readily-discernible reference marks, will tend to veer toward their dominant side, because the dominant side stride will be longer.

Yeh. In fact, I pretty much do NOT “walk in a circle.”
