Jerry had a theory which the success of the Huygens probe disproves. So he needs to try and shoehorn that success into his theory now. Originally he said that Huygens would miss Titan entirely, or crash land if it did hit (in reality if his theory were correct the probe would not have made it very close to Saturn at all). To say that he is now grasping at straws is an understatement to say the least. |
Agreed.
One clarification: Jerry's daydream was never a theory. It didn't even qualify as a hypothesis. It was idle speculation. Idle speculation tends to get deep-sixed by the first fact it meets.
