First, none of us are being as rude to you as you are to us in this comment alone. If you can't stand the abuse you're getting here, then quit commenting on this post.

Oh, I can take the abuse, I'm just wondering.

Second, we've given this well more than a few minutes' discussion, and you've given us no reason to believe that we misunderstand your theory

At least at first, I've been given just accusations and incredulous stares.

if a theory doesn't help us get what we actually want, it really is of no use to us

If you want the truth, you have to consider being wrong even about your darlings, say, prediction.

Do you actually believe this theory that you have proposed? Because we aren't arguing that it's logically impossible, we're explaining why we don't believe it.
