May I remind you that if one is to treat economics as a science, then market theory is more than just opinion.

Opinions lead to hypothesis which lead to theories which lead to laws.

I suppose myperspective of what constitutes laws/theories is skewed after working in science/biotech. I'll let you have the last word, have a nice day.

Why thank you - my last word is that having been through four year programs for two sciences, I can understand your sentiment that the general lay public and even the general non-lay public have misconceptions about what a theory is and what a hypothesis is.
