    In addition, the word “theory” has a well known definition in the world of science. It also has a layman’s definition. Those two things are completely separate.

      Yes very good point!

      “That’s just a theory, a game theory!” won’t fly on your PhD defense.

        I made a comment the other day saying pretty much the same thing about “respect” and “tolerance”. All three have multiple definitions that certain types of people, knowingly or unknowingly, use to their advantage to push an agenda. Generally the types of people I’m talking about are either evil (doing it purposefully) or very stupid (parroting others because they have no argument on their own) and in all cases they’re being shitty and think it means they win.
