The theories are there to explain what was heard.Theories are not explanations, Jon.
To theorize is to make best guesses as to what the cause MAY BE. To explain is to declare what the cause ACTUALLY IS.
Theory: a : a hypothetical assumed for the sake of argument or investigation b : an unproved assumption : CONJECTURE

Problem with you Jon is all you do is sit around spinning theories and mislead people to believe you're giving them explanations when you've done no such thing and don't appear to have any interest whatsoever in doing any such thing.
My theory is that the reason you do nothing but spin theories and never take the next step beyond theory is because you're afraid of what you might find.
