Listen up! Explanations can be speculations at the same time.

Bogie, no. I'm not splitting hairs.
Let's start at the beginning:
YOU made the thread as an ATM alternative for Caroles question.
YOU later posted in that thread addressing your concerns about the cautions other expressed about the thread.
This is SCIENCE- not calling in for work.
Quoting myself:
Quote:
This caution is necessary.
Folks tend to read an article of some kind and carry off from it only what they liked and want to remember- and will then treat it as fact.
Very necessary cautions...

These warnings others gave were not an insult to your ideas or made in the desire of making your thread look unwarranted, wrong, silly or anything else.
They were made to differentiate between theory and speculation.
What you gave is not an explanation. If you called your boss and lied- then the truth remains unknown doesn't it?
Well,for the lurkers, readers and Carole, isn't it more desirable to give them a manageable AND current theory than a speculation of maybes?
ETA: Your thread may have been very satisfying for Carole or any of the other readers who followed.
No one seems to have posted on it- so that is an unknown.
But it IS important to remember that it IS speculation- not theory.
