The scientific community would point out there are correlations within human nature but not always absolutes bar things like anatomy. The reason? The human brain.
well, I'm inclined to believe that facts can be well stated as facts by empirical means regarding the physical world only, anything else is pretty much junk, examples such as morality, idealisms, social and political ideals are relative and subjective and pretty much people believe in stuff because they find it convenient regardless. Thus I tend to reject claimed truths that are not tangible.

Something being common is pretty much meaningless as a justification for truth, in a social context.
