Medical: They themselves say their Facts become 50% ‚wrong‘ in 10 – 20 yrs.
Almost everything else: 6% per year. (QI K 9 youtube.com/watch?v=N2aFRBF7QE4)

10 years = 60% ‚wrong‘ Facts.
Smoking and jogging were doctor recommended.
Dinosaurs had feathers? (The Half-life of Facts. Samuel Arbesman)

in 1950’s we helped them

Today?
Russia, Afganistan, Iran, Israel, etc.

Increase your effectiveness: base your solutions on current Facts.
