I ran across this thread and felt I needed to add my thoughts to the mix. Walt's ideas are a theory or at least a hypothesis, but one needs to remember that plate techtonics is also just a theory.
--Credence is delivered to scientific hypotheses as a result of their ability to explain the data better than competing theories trying to explain the same data. Theories have variable plausibility in reality and variable credibility in scientific interpretation--they are therefore, not equivalent and your rational is rendered meaningless. Also, I believe it is 'tectonics'.
--The bottom line is that the basic idea of plate tectonics explains the geophysical and geological data much better than any other in competition--including Walt Brown's hydroplate.
