Science generally accepts that notion that a theory that does not
produce measurable and testable predictions is not worth pursuing.
Then again, as I have tried to point out, there is a difference
between the strategies adopted by people in different disciplines.
You are the one promoting such speculations in a science newsgroup.
They might be far more acceptable in neural net or artificial
intelligence circles. I have no objection to arguing and discussing
this type of notion in the proper venue and, in the context of those
groups, such discussions could be very valuable. Perhaps someday a
result could be developed that could then be imported over to an
experimental science group for testing and possible validation.
