I've recently been having an argument with someone about the Stanley theory. It made me realize some things, and I'd like to post them here

One thing the Stanley Theorists have to remember is that it's only a theory. You can believe it's true, but until it's proven true, we can't know for sure, and facts about the show can only come from the show.

Likewise, those who don't believe the Stanley theory need to understand, that you can't debunk this theory by giving another explanation. The person I was discussing with though that by, giving alternate explanations for things like, the kind in the boxong room, the glasses in the Carpet room, and the strange Stanford-like man in Time Travelers Pig, he was proving the theory wrong. But he wasn't. He was only making his own theory to explain the same things. Alternate explanations don't disprove the original explanations. Again, facts about the show can only come from the show. If you can find a FACT from the SHOW to disprove this theory, share that instead.

His points and my points were equally valid: neither were more logical. But neither of us had TRUE points. Neither of us can back up our "ideas" with "facts" from the show. We both used imagination to create theories.
