That's due to the lack of medical knowledge. Even doctors used to recommend dangerous shit back in the day. (Heck, they used to think that babies don't feel much pain as recently as the 1980s. Archive link.) So, it's not really an argument against communal knowledge. Also, I'm not arguing against medical help. Everyone should always seek medical help when having kids, but the communal knowledge is necessary as well.
