Uhm... Why exactly can't a hypothesis be based on facts?
True. My wording was misleading.
I think what I meant to say is that a theory has already been tested to be a valid explanation of some facts whereas a hypothesis is more of an educated guess that is based on facts but yet to be tested.
If still incorrect, open to correction.
