I have this basic adage: If it’s not science, it’s superstition. We’re all children of The Enlightenment and have the right to demand strong evidence before committing to belief.
@MarineBob That superstition is supposedly at least partly attributed to the gallows as far as what I’ve read about it. I do hope you’re never in danger of being hanged, I think it’s wise of you to know your limitations as far as climbing (on and/or up) things.
