A "theory of operation" is not a scientific theory.
Einstein's Theory of Operation of Relativity?????
Newton's Theory of Operation of Gravity????
Darwin's Theory of Operation of Evolution????
And since when do theories of operation require test and development by a community of experts? "Help, we are a large computer company and have just developed the world's largest computer. We are asking for assistance in developing a theory of operations so that we can write a manual indicating which button to push." ?????? |
None of the theories you mentioned are a computer model of a system that requires a "theory of operation" (an operational theory). Your examples are all red-herrings.
You have been promoting the anti-ID movement's self-styled definitions for "hypothesis" and "theory" instead of what experienced scientists, engineers and top universities want public school teachers to teach. Even Buddy from the "Dinosaur Train" put your definition for hypotheses to shame:

You are likewise attempting to turn a "theory" into a tribunal where control freaks such as yourself get to decide whether a "theory" is a "theory" or not. Joseph Stalin already tried your methodology and it only worked for the political hacks who had a fun time trashing the scientific system of the entire USSR. |
That Gary's scientific training peaked with a cartoon for pre-schoolers really explains a lot of his problems. Why he thinks he knows more about what scientists and educators want to do than the actual scientists and educators on this board (and others) is one of the questions we'd all love to get him to address.
