    I get that this could be making fun of the idea that a hypothesis is different to a theory, but there are epistemic stances that don’t distinguish between either. From that perspective, both a hypothesis and a theory answer the question of “What do you think is happening here?”

      I thought the meme was parodying the people who dwell on the difference. I wonder what it’s really making fun of.
