The Consensus?
Something that can be measured by
scientific apparatus?
The word of a superior?
The word of a celebrity?
How do you decide which is right,
and which is an illusion?

Dunk your bare head into a bucket of sulphuric acid for 15 seconds and

their teacher's claim that such a thing is pretty stupid to do.
