That's honestly the funniest side effect of those shows. My little cousin started doing the exact same thing after we watched a cooking marathon. You just have to laugh along with the critique.

Actually had a similar shift in thinking a while back. Always figured the flat stuff was just silly, but seeing it proven wrong with actual tools makes it click. Learning something hands-on, where the numbers just add up, really kills the doubt. What other things do people learn by doing that changed their mind?
