Joss Whedon Messed Up

I like a lot of Joss Whedon's work.   Buffy was fun.





 So was Firefly / Serenity. 


(Well, Much Ado really sucked, but)


 Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is programmed into my DVR.


But the last episode was not only a little iffy on the logic (real life doesn't have to make sense to us, but fiction does), 

but Whedon used THEORY when he should have used HYPOTHESIS !!

Not forgiven.   A HYPOTHESIS is an untested guess about what might be going on.  

A THEORY is our best explanation of the facts after testing them!  

Evolution by natural selection  was a HYPOTHESIS when Darwin first asked the question while in South America.   Then Wallace, Darwin, and thousands of other researchers found example after example of natural selection doing the job, and the hypothesis produced a THEORY, which will remain unless someone's test comes up negative.

Bad, Whedon, Bad!
