To the IT people: There is an enormous difference between a testable hypothesis and wild speculation. I suggest you look up the scientific method.

I nearly said something about that during the last conversation, but decided against it at the time.
But yes, the problem with all the evidence of IT is the fact the evidence is circumstancial.
If evidence, taken away from the argument/conclusion, does not lead a person oblivious to the conclusion to the same conclusion, it's pretty much worthless. IT kind of worked the wrong way around, hypothesis not stemming purely from the observations.
Not to be mean, but that's how it works with science (insert Spoony cameo), and as we proved, I'm a scientist at heart. Even if I do study linguistics, literature and culture. <_<
Yet today's science doesn't bother with such things

theory of Evolution.......yes its still theory; you can prove small parts but not all of it........Theory of Relativity

etc; yet their treated as laws.....
people may not like IT; that's fine - but its still extremely strong theory to explains the pile of crap that was given as the ending.....
