As you've said, it's a theory, not a fact. The gramatical world, which the analytical philosophers in USA, UK and Ger loved so much to work with, is not completely logical (good proofs of this are Chomsky's books) or based on the world. My theory seems of course to be misleadind definition, but sometimes to mislead something into another path is the only way to stop it from crashing into the iceberg, if you don't believe build yourself a time machine go to the titanic just before flooding and ask the people in charge...
