@fmf saidIt's apple , not acorn.
Every time the lives of offspring closely mirror the lives of their parents, one can point to it and say: "The acorn doesn't fall very far from the tree" and simply ignore the considerable but unknown number of counterexamples.
What other aphorisms can seem anecdotally plausible despite lacking more convincing evidence?
Never heard of "the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree".
