Theories are tools for problem solving and critical thinking.

1. Pythagorean Theorem is about triangles, not circles, but otherwise your point is fine

It is a sad state of affairs when the Pythagorean Theorem, so basic, is misidentified like that.

[Silent3]

2. I think the point is that, because it's about triangles...

...it's not teaching you to hate circles by excluding them from the theory. I don't think it's a matter of misidentification.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Ah, could be. But perhaps it would go better as "not to hate Right triangles". . . . nt

5. Right triangles are problematic

Always have narrow Trumpian angles to things directly opposed to the right one.

7. tRump angles are always obtuse. :) . . . nt

4. The theory of gravity doesn't cause you to fall on your ass

6. They sure enough like their conspiracy "theories"

Which shouldn't be called "theories" at all because no amount of experimentation would confirm or deny them. I think the media should start calling them "conspiracy rumors", which places them in the appropriate epistemological category. "Theories" sounds too scientific.
