John, the other theories are in direct logical conflict with each other and are also in conflict with many observations. I predict the final theory will be nothing like what has been proposed.
Ed, I'm not proposing to throw all of them into a tumbler and hope a coherent theory emerges. But clearly certain theories are more analogous to one another than you believe. For example your theory and Meulenberg-Sinha Extended Lochon Model have striking similarities. And cluster theories like TSC are quite compatible with the idea of a Nano-NAE (whether crack or cavity). Your theory is perhaps the best at KISS, but you can't always indict someone for using "imagination", it is simply part of theoretical work. Even you have used "imagination" in developing the hydroton and its particular dynamics for example. And of course certain speculations go out on longer limbs than others, and that is when criticism can take center stage to bring stuff back to reality. Clearly there are differences between theories, I'm not attempting to whitewash the issue. But to say all of them are mutually exclusive is taking an absolutist position on a phenomenon that is, still in many ways, not well elucidated. There are still many experiments to do. You can't possibly think any theory, including yours, is the final word do you?
