Am I wrong?


Yes. But only you are in trouble. Conclusions are called falsifiable

hypotheses, crackpot. You test them, with experiments, and further evidence,
to produce more conclusion and hypotheses. It's called the scientific

method. However, being the crackpot that you are, you ridicule, then
dismiss, and and remain skeptical, without offering any evidence, except

that you still remain a crackpot.
