        The popularity of an idea is no measure of its correctness (or lack
        thereof).  But, if you really want to put on the mantle of science,
you
        must ask yourself the following question to each of your ideas:

        "How would I know if I were wrong?"

           Essential point, Chris.  To really evaluate a theory in depth, it
should be possible to
        refute it.  Enthusiasm can be great, but it needs to be tempered
with sound, scientific methodology.
