why are you calling them theories?

Well, perhaps much for the same reason I call cold fusion and astrological forecast charting and the chiropractic disease theory of bone displacement, and my notion that the kids will go to sleep if I read them a story, theories. Unlike the case with finding a genuine, potentially falsifying test, there is no significant bar to being a theory.
