In refer. to what a theory is, I recommend you review the
"Fact Theory Falacy" topic, and then post at the end of it, if you wish.
For now, from my Webster's:
Theory:
Def. 4 - a formulation of apparent relationships or underlying principles of certain observed phenomena which has been verified to some degree; distinguished from hypothesis.
Def. 6 - popularly, a mere hypothesis, conjecture, or guess; as, my theory is that he never got the letter.
Def. 4 is that of a scientific theory.
Def. 6 is yours.
But please take any further discussion of such to the above cited forum.
