It's not intended to be a description of scientific theory nor did I present it as such. It's a comment made in context of a point made to another contributor who accepts the point I was making, which would suggest it sufficed for the purpose for which it was intended.
However, if you think there is a debate to be had on the merits of defining Scientific Theory and the accompanying Philosophical arguments for and against, then by all means start another thread.
You might attract another hillbilly who has actually read some of Karl Popper's work and learn yerself some Philosophizin'.

If Popper's philosophy includes lying about what a scientific theory is I think I will just skip it.
