"hypothesis", rather than "opinion", no?

[โ€“] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Hypothesis:

  1. A tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation.
  2. Something taken to be true for the purpose of argument or investigation; an assumption.
  3. The antecedent of a conditional statement.

I'd agree if it was stated as "current thinking holds that" or "one theory is" not just "here's how it happened". The latter is an opinion.
