It's not so much that scientists changed their minds, it's more that those who were strongly opposed to the idea either retired or died of old age. It's the same pattern with lots of scientific ideas we take for granted.

Reply to comment by Byelof in A 2-year-old boy was lost in the Florida woods for 24 hours. Everyone feared the worst. Hundreds of volunteers came out to look for him. One volunteer came to a fork in a field: right or left? He trusted his gut, went left and soon heard a whimper. It was the little boy, crying but in good health. by ConquerWyoming

Reply to Book ban attempts reach record high in 2022, American Library Association report says by audiomuse1
On the topic of book bans... After the recent book ban in Florida's schools, I put together 32 classic public-domain books that all got banned at some point in the past. They range from Huckleberry Finn to Uncle Tom's Cabin, from Voltaire to Hemingway, all of them controversial in some way. The resulting file is about 8,600 pages long and should keep any reader happy and entertained for a loooong time. :)
If you want a free copy (PDF or EPUB), DM me and I'll send you the link. I'm doing this for free, without any hidden agenda, solely to spread forbidden books all over the world. If you know any teachers in Florida who'd like to share the banned books with their students, that's even better. ;)
