We already know you don’t understand the meaning of the word theory. But you’ve got a real problem with reading comprehension and the more you keep it up the more I think you’re doing it on purpose, which we’re not going to put up with indefinitely. If you aren’t being dense on purpose, I suggest fixing this.
