You are correct Simon  Smile  ... but it should be noted that Professor Krauss doesn't use the term theory as alleged by purplepurpose, he is very clear when it is a theory, that is backed by empirical evidence and it his own opinions ....

Scientists have to have opinions beyond the frontier (aimed at Purpleprpose not you Simon) of what is known or the frontier wouldn't advance ... 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory

"A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation.[1][2] Scientific theories are the most reliable, rigorous, and comprehensive form of scientific knowledge.[3]"
