I love the application of the scientific method.This is why theory crafting needs to be well researched. My personal method of creating a theory involves purposely trying to disprove it, and if I can easily do so it will never see the light of day. But if a theory is published and it falls apart the crafter has to accept that and just move on.
Try to disprove your ideas. Be ruthless. If your idea holds up, then hey, it was a good idea.
