Thanks RP;

I was at a science site and they were arguing about the definition of theory. I can see why they had problems, one was using definition #2 saying his idea was the theory, the others was holding him to a stricter standard #4 definition.

But then I guess definition and classification are important tools to our understanding of things.

So here is the problem, according to Websters, an idea can be a theory, and a theory can be a hypothesis, according to #2.

I can see how language can limit our understanding of things.

I agree good post,
