No, I understand. I'm not saying that having a hunch is a bad thing. I'm just wary of any claim that contains within it a reason as to why it cannot be proven (or implies so, if not making a direct claim).
For example, I can give you the bit about being buried underwater, we see that all the time (but we also find artifacts and remains underwater as well). Assuming that they made the trip, they would have followed the banks of a river when they came acrossed it, and so we would expect to find something, some bones, some artifact along those rivers (or where those rivers once were). The sea does not erase all traces of hominids elsewhere, so why are we assuming that it did in N. America? As an explanation for a lack of evidence? Unsatisfactory.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
