Because what people - even a lot of people - think is true, is often not true. Most people get their common sense knowledge by agreeing with what other people - often people they consider authority figures - say and think, not because they have investigated the truth of any fact or statement themselves. And 'common sense' can in many cases be 'commonly held belief/prejudice'.

History has shown thousands of times that actual facts can be hugely different from things commonly held for truth.
