** The brain surgery to which criminals are subjected at the "Crime College". At the time the books were written, it was commonly believed, including by psychologists and neurologists, that career criminals suffered from a treatable malformation of the brain. See ValuesDissonance below.
** DoubleSubverted In ''The Land of Terror'' (1933): someone asks Doc about the theory that we could get lots of energy by splitting the atom. Doc explains that this has just been discredited, as recent work suggests you have to put in as much energy as you get out. This is actually still a scientific fact, and is the reason why you can't just use any old element in a reactor. The ''catch'' that was discovered later is that certain atoms have unstable forms that were "pre-charged" by their formation in collapsing stars, only needing a hefty nudge to release that energy and split into more stable atoms.
