Lots of people find incorrect things intuitive despite them being incorrect.
Studies that confirm things, especially in a variety of people, are always good.
That makes sense to me, and I think scientific research is frequently confirming or debunking things everyone assumes are true. I just think it's not particularly newsworthy.
