This episode is an exciting story about limiting beliefs and dogma. There are plenty of times that we're fed incorrect information. Sometimes, it's because the person sharing it has an agenda.

Whatever the reason, it's essential to formulate our own beliefs based on our own personal experiences and investigate how the foundations of our knowledge even come to pass.
