Not just that. I'm not an expert, but from what I read, some DRMs will encrypt assets and critical game logic and let them be decrypted in real time on a virtual machine so that they aren't directly extractable from memory.
One historical explanation is that it was due to the popularization of sales culture in the 20th century which began around the 1920s, and greatly accelerated after WWII.
Another historical explanation, as has been mentioned by other commenters, is that it was due to the popularization of African American culture.
But of course, they are just two of the many plausible historical explanations.
This was one of the explanations that I find elucidating as well, but just now I realize that the change from 1/3 as an estimate to 1/2 is exactly the result of absorbing new information, which makes this explanation unsatisfactory.
Can we apply and verify the results from CERN experiments beyond experimental settings? If we can't, how can we know the results from CERN experiments aren't just artifacts of the experimental apparatuses?
That's a good question. You're right that a random grad student in a lab can't replicate, e.g., the discovery of the Higgs boson!
However, at least for the Higgs (and I believe this is standard for most such large experiments), there were actually two different groups using two different apparatuses, both at CERN.
There was the CMS[0] detector and ATLAS[1] detector, used and analyzed by two different groups of physicists, resulting in two papers[2,3], published on the same day.
