It is well known fact that with evolution, the octopus lost the nostrils and took on the more familiar look that we know today. If you still look closely you can see ah, a little bump where the nose use to be.

Fact?

You are mistaking fact with theory.

I find nothing troubling about the theory or idea you presented. I think hypothesis is the best descriptor.

Now, how do you determine it is true?

What do you predict you will find in a given data set yet to be obtained that will confirm or contradict your hypothesis about the evolution of octopi nostrils?

Provide your experimental design.

oops, crickets...

maybe the attempted loony toons ref didn’t translate.

when people jumped on your humorous octopuses’ nose comment, and knowing your rep for mild pranking, i couldn’t resist.

but Gamecock please accept my appology if offense was given!
