Let's make some theoretical contributions today

Good morning. As I am sucking this 'heart' in, and starting my day, the thing I am thinking about is "Theory". Ability to theorize is what differentiates a scientist from a mathematician, a statistician, a data analyst or a consultant. While all of them draw 'conjectures' and rely on data to validate them, only a scientist 'hypothesizes', tests, and offers an explanation - a theory - one that works most of the time, preferably 99.9% of the time. Until it doesn't. Until someone, also a scientist, finds a nuance which demands an additional explanation, offers one, which becomes a 'theoretical contribution' - and then, with the padding, the theory claims to go back to 99.9% success rate.

Let me pour the 'heart' out and make some theoretical contributions today.
