There are four types of #theories i.e., prescriptive, descriptive, predictive, and practice. We can argue that there might be a hybrid theory as well. One that emphasizes that it might not be as straightforward as it seems to assign a theory to an ideal type.
@sraznoff It would be a called "theory that is of no help" 😛
@sraznoff @sgul I think "I think" + "could" renders your theory predictive. But with no evidence maybe a 5th category presumptive. But your posts made me smile, so perhaps for a while, we could simply presume they're consumptive. :-) happy Thursday my fellow mastadonians!
