"Common sense" is basically the opposite of science.

I like science, but that doesn't mean it has to be the end-all-be-all. Otherwise it would be a religion.

There are situations where overthinking it is bad. Yes, obviously, microplastics in your brain are bad for you. Common sense. Any delay because "the science isn't there yet" does more harm than good.
