‘Common sense’ usually means ‘I was taught this young enough that i don’t remember learning it, and therefore treat the knowledge as instrinsic’
Like the only reason it’s Common Sense not to put metal in a toaster is because of warnings from others about it. It’s not like our species evolved al9ngside toasters.
A lot of kids out there are neglected and taught to obey instructions, but not why those instructions matter, what they do, or the comprehension needed to optimise them.
Often people forget (or more commonly: don’t know) that homo sapiens are called like that because we were the only* species of homo that actively tries to give all the knowledge they had to their kids
*well, we weren’t the only ones, homo erectus and other homos did it too to a certain extent i belive
