What's that phenomenon where as a child you were told a "fact", internalised it, and lived your life presuming it was true until someone points out how obviously wildly untrue it was that you momentarily question reality?

Because I was today's years old when I realised how ridiculous cutting complete blood flow would be. Thank you (genuinely!)

That's called being human, I guess. Our brains wouldn't be able to function if we didn't outsource most of the processing power to the subconscious assumptions
