>>real education or field work. Assumptions aren't good enough , I want facts. If you don't have the facts then don't try to pawn your half-arse theory on the rest of us as fact. I'm done with this argument, nobody has been able to bring any new information to the table, just a bunch of their own theories with no factual information to back it up!
Who's to say a herpetologist HAS to have a degree? There's many people out there who cannot afford degrees, and instead self-study everything they can. I'm sure some of them are just as knowledgable (if not more, because they can keep up-to-date with information) as someone with a degree that is more than likely outdated by the time they graduate.
Theories are just that, theories. They aren't fact. They are thought up, ideas, things to be pondered and turned into either fact or fiction. Theories are made to be shared with other people, so that others who might know can either back them up with facts or show them as false, and that others who have never thought of such a theory might look into it as well.
