Very well said. It's not like they don't have the opportunity to learn.. Save for very rare examples, everyone who can't tell the difference between "theory" and "hypothesis" could find out in five minutes max with a well placed Google query. These days, there isn't much stupidity. Just ignorance and laziness. This isn't even just pandering to stupidity, it's catering and enabling a non-curious and lazy generation!
Oh, and student here, no. I don't think "theory" and "hypothesis" are dead. Nor does everyone above me and below me. Kindergarteners learn this for pete's sake.
