The price of certainty is inaccuracy.

So the only way to be accurate is to vaguely gesture at hodgepodge theories and suggestions that people "do their own research"?

Surely you can be both accurate and certain, otherwise you should just shut up and be right all the time.

    Yours was a hodgepodge theory. That's why I said that. I was advocating against hodgepodge theories in general, and yours in particular.
