My parents always told me to say no to dental x-rays and I thought they were being paranoid. I guess they were right to be skeptical.



That sounds like being right for the wrong reasons. Not a great approach.


Except they didn't consider any other medical procedures to be "unnecessary." Just dental x-rays. I think they were right for the right reasons, but not the right right reasons if that makes sense. They were worried about unnecessary exposure to radiation, and they turned out to be right that it was unnecessary even if the risk was overstated.
