The [[Theory]] page seems to overlap with [[Scientific theory]] at least in intent, but the former takes a very different position on what the word "theory" means.  In fact, it takes a position that makes other uses of the word here problematic.  I made a note about that on [[Talk:Theory]].  Perhaps Theory could just redirect to this one?  And it would be nice to see something here about how personal bias can lead to the word "theory" being attached to something that isn't really a theory at all (not falsifiable, for example, or having many inconsistencies that are overlooked because they contradict personal bias).  Just because the word "theory" gets attached to something in common usage doesn't make it a theory.  [[User:Bwilliston|Bwilliston]] 14:05, 10 March 2007 (EST)
