the ying and yang of theory

I find it interesting that the word THEORY can be used in at least two very distinct manners. First, THEORY often refers to speculation.

As in “Hey Dale, I have a theory….I think no college accepted me cause then they’d see how smart I is and how dumb they is.”

THEORY can also refer to a belief, policy, acton or procedure that has been subject to controled observation and tests. A.K.A a hypothesis proven accurate.

As in the theory of evolution.

The ambiguity of this word can really muddle a debate. Think about it.
