Firecracker- "Common sense " is a socially constructed concept I,e. What people think is commmon sense can change over time and between cultures - so what you think of as common sense may differ from someone in the past and someone brought up in another culture. So I suggest common sense is not necessarily more significant than statistics. Although statistics are socially created as well, they are more easily scrutinised and verified than common sense.
