However, if you have successfully shot down a theory or proven that it is just as likely to be wrong, that is where you are entitled to the four words.

Yes, IF you are a peer scientist who has spent an equally long lifetime of research and investigation and gathering of facts and evidence. The issue Alan and I have is with folks who have not even gotten their feet wet in logic and science dismissing theory which has been painstakingly assembled by world wide bodies of experts, and have independently repeated experiments (achieving the same results). Even then, one must be careful about claiming to have "shot down" a theory. Newtonian physics do fail to explain events at relativistic velocities but they still hold true at sub-light speeds.
