In these times, up until the 1500s, individuals and societies often failed in checking and testing the truth of any particular proposition, idea, or notion that was being popularized BEFORE
embracing it as their personal truth.

It wasn't until Francis Bacon and Galileo in the 1600s where the idea that IF you are going to believe, say, or repeat something because it's "true",
THEN no matter how obvious you think the truth is -- test it, prove its truth! People are not perfect and there could be something within it to fool and mislead you,
in one way or another.
For example, don't just simply embrace "The earth is flat.", without the ability to factually explain how a lunar eclipse is able to occur.
