Put more simply, he wants conjectures hypotheses and theories to be lumped together under a single heading, which is "theory". Disengenuous, mad, charlatan? Your call.

How about "none of the above."

Behe is simply giving the textbook definition of a theory: A conjecture based on physical evidence and logical inference. Nothing more, nothing less. But balance and perspective is sorely lacking in this debate, mostly on the evolution side. This is not surprising; entrenched paradigms always thrash about when threatened. I expect much more to come in the future.
