Right on! Most of the papers published in the respected peer reviewed 
scientific press, for example "Nature", are simply hypotheses. A 
hypothesis is defined by Webster's dictionary as "a tentative 
assumption made in order to draw out and test its logical or 
empirical consequences." The popular press, and unfortunately a large 
number of medical practitioners, seem totally ignorant of this fact 
or choose to be ignorant. (Note that my comments refer to the most 
highly respected journals, not some un-reviewed guesswork in a quack 
"health" magazine.)
