It is called a therory to expose people who do not understand science.

I'm glad you explained that therory (sic) of that theory to we unscientific rubes out her in flyoverland.

I guess that means to "scientists" plain words don't mean what plain words mean.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip!

You are welcome. For you further edification...

Layman's definition of "theory:"
An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.

Scientific definition of "theory:"
A systematically organized body of knowledge applicable in a relatively wide variety of circumstances, especially a system of assumptions, accepted principles, and rules of procedure devised to analyze, predict, or otherwise explain the nature or behavior of a specified set of phenomena.
