I certainly agree that another term is needed for "theory." Like many of

I think that I question that. Is it wise to allow the misuse of a term to
invalidate the term? I can think of many in which that is exactly the case.
<inflation, mutation,liberal/conservative,)...might it not be better to
defend the correct usage rather than scurry off into the bushes...invent a
new term...only to have it bastardized at a later date?
