I'm going to waste my time and actually check that out.

*Cough*

You mean you didn't know the word theory had more than one definition?

Of course he knew - he was the one trying to tell you that the scientific usage of the word 'theory' differed from the common usage of the term.

You didn't direct this at me but I did check your work and it was wrong. Either you have a children's version of the American Heritage dictionary or you just made up your research. As I posted before, I went to dictionary.com and looked up the term to verify your 'research'. American Heritage is the first set of definitions it displays and none of them are anything like what you posted. Again, you may be using the children's version.
