It seems to me that the choice is based as much on logic and evidence as it is based on the theorist's particular training, personal experiences and intuition. Since I can't draw on a wealth of knowledge about chemistry, nuclear physics or condensed matter to lend credibility to my choices I will hence forth not theorize about this phenomena.
