Amongst all my studying, there are two disciplines that evoke the most confusion.
Interpretation of Christian theology.
Fitness and nutrition.
I just listened, for example, to two MDs interviewed. One had done the usual thing–discovered one molecule and extrapolated into a book and then a writing/speaking career.
Talking about good and bad foods, one MD said stay away from peanuts and peanut butter–it’ll kill you.
I hit pause. What?? Those are nutritionally dense foods you can snack on and not gain weight.
He went on, “I was at a conference where a doctor from Harvard said they feed lab rats peanut butter when they want them to develop atherosclerosis.”
Interest piqued, I researched. Found at least 25 papers on nutritional benefits of peanut butter.
It worries me that even a highly trained medical doctor who runs around the country espousing his “wisdom” would develop a teaching from an offhand comment.
Same with spiritual matters.
Someone lifts one comment or aside from a writing of a Gospel writer or from an apostle and develops a speaking/writing career spreading confusion and misinformation.
