<<< a theory is a postulate that has been proven >>> A postulate is never proven. A postulate is a premise (sometimes taken as self-evident, as in Euclid's Elements, but never proven), from which one may infer other claims. A theory may be proven or unproven. Examples of proven theories: Newton's inverse square law of gravitation, probabilistic laws of genetics, .... Examples of unproven theories: String theory (physics), any theory in economics, ... A theory is never a postulate, but usually contains postulates. For example, Skip has offered a theory as to how EPS related to CCSI's bilirubin market will pan out. Skip starts with 330 million in the U.S. as a postulate, and says "Assuming this, it follows that ..." and develops a theory as to how CCSI longs will become very rich. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I just resigned my teaching position and am going through withdrawal. Wade
