I mean, if we're going all "scientific method" on this hypothesis, we need to try to tear it to shreds. All theories go through the same process. We must be initially opposed to any idea, and try to find flaws in it from every angle we can, until we later give up because we cannot find an effective rebuttal, and later accept the hypothesis as a theory, and thus the best idea we have for explaining certain phenomena. It's cruel, yes. It's cold, yes. But it is also efficient at weeding out truth from lies.
