On this list we like to combine statements whose empirical basis is uncontested with ones that seem plausible but for which the evidence is sketchy or there is even countervailing evidence somewhere. That is part of the difficulty in this field -- separating conjecture from solid evidence. This is not to say that some or much of the conjecture is not also correct, just that it is in a different category than clear empirical results. Anything said here that seems remotely plausible should without further evidence be lumped in the category of conjecture and taken as a working hypothesis. Eric
