The researcher was quoted as saying (paraphrased) my opinion is based upon theory not upon observation of the data. The general subject was plumes are great theories no one has conclusively observed them.

But I realized believers do not separate observation from theory from speculation from hearsay. They jump at anything that makes their beliefs appear to be superficially plausible.

The irony in this statement is so thick that you could cut it with a knife.
