Trusting common sense is the opposite of Science.

It actually is not. Understanding anything first starts with observations about the world, pattern matching and data gathering… leading to hypothesis which are then put to test using the scientific method.

The scientific method does prove common sense incorrect a lot of times (eg there is a maximum possible speed) but it doesn’t mean that all of common sense is wrong.
