Let's clarify our terms

[Moonobserver]

Let's start a trend. Let's stop giving conspiracy RUMORS a dignity they don't deserve by referring to them as "theories". Conspiracy rumors don't qualify as theories. Theories are supported by hard evidence. Theories are reasonable explanations. Theories can be tested and falsified. Conspiracy RUMORS do not make the grade. If we can get those around us into the habit of calling conspiracy RUMORS what they are, we may have greater leverage in snuffing those rumors out.

Good suggestion.

There's a secret organization whose sole purpose is to misapprorpriate the term "theory" in order to discredit scientists.  A major pizza chain is involved.  I can't say anything more because they may be monitoring my posts.

Let me guess----they're in the basement of a pizza chain outlet that doesn't have a basement, right?

That's their secret motto: "the basement is just a theory."
