I think we just don’t do as much critical introspection as we like to think.

It's definitely true, and it shows that the stuff you learn as kids is even more ingrained than we even notice most of the time. Kids don't normally have blood drawn, so it's not like elementary schools were filled with a bunch of kids saying "wait a minute, that didn't happen with my last blood draw."
