    He was a decent youtuber, but I was always irked by his propagation of the “That’s just a theory” phrase. I get that it was just a tagline, but it still inadvertently promotes the downplay of the scientific process.

      The word “theory” has definitions outside of the context of the scientific process, and it’s pretty obvious that MatPat was not doing anything scientific in his videos. I don’t understand the concern here
