Oh, if only English was so precise. Please choose which THEORY definition you intend.
http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=theory&r=67
Say
"A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or
phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely
accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena"
or maybe
"A doctrine, or scheme of things, which terminates in speculation or
contemplation, without a view to practice; hypothesis; speculation."
Who designed this crazy language anyhow? (anyway?)
