I think that research is the right thing to do in all aspects, I usually see a lot how they do not trust older people when they talk about medicinal plants for example and thinking about it carefully that grandmother will not know anything about organic chemistry, but she has cured her children since they were born with plants medicinals and knows they work.

And it also applies the other way around, when you try to explain to your grandparents that their miracle cure is just a myth, they scold you and look at you ugly haha
