Stop with the games, dude, lol. You didn't know what a theory means, LFC had to correct you on that, and now you're trying to save face by acting like you were trying to make some clever rhetorical point.
There's no rhetorical point. If you think hypothesis become theories when there is evidence for them, you are mistaken. If that were the case every scientific paper that gets published would be the birth a new theory, since the reason they're published is (sadly) because they got positive results for their hypotheses.
Moreover, what do you do with theories that begin having evidence against them, demote them to hypotheses?
