Why is this theory debunked? I have a pretty bad memory but I can't recall what in episode 6 disproved it, especially with all the entropy talk in Episode 9 (depending on how we interpret it, the entropy might be the "dark energy" OP talked about). If someone could enlighten me ... --Homerun-chan 22:32, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

- That is a good question, that applies to Speculah:Make a Wish too, by the way (some of the wishes there are correct, hence, should we flag the page as "confirmed"?). Regarding the classification in general, I'd take a very pragmatic, "scientific" approach: if there is an element in one of the episodes that undeniably goes against something stated in one theory, then the page should be flagged as debunked (and same goes for "confirmed"). In the absence of explicit evidence, I think it should stay "unconfirmed".
Now, regarding this particular page, the problem seems to be that it is "partly right, but also partly off". Maybe rewording it a little would solve the issue? --Homerun-chan 22:53, 12 March 2011 (UTC)- Hope you like what I did with Speculah:Make a Wish.
About this page... well, rewording would make it not debunked, but also would alter the speculah, and speculahs by nature are not limited by anything but imagination. I think all the theories which were posted over time are worth preserving, but when some speculah article is "partly wrong, partly right, partly still not known"... well, the most complete solution seems to be dividing such articles into separate parts with noting what has been debunked and what has not separately, and linking the pages to each other to indicate it was originally a single speculah. But that would make some articles an unreadable mess :/ --KFYatek 23:29, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

- That is a good question, that applies to Speculah:Make a Wish too, by the way (some of the wishes there are correct, hence, should we flag the page as "confirmed"?). Regarding the classification in general, I'd take a very pragmatic, "scientific" approach: if there is an element in one of the episodes that undeniably goes against something stated in one theory, then the page should be flagged as debunked (and same goes for "confirmed").
