I'm guessing you also have a problem with the theory of gravitation? The word theory has a completely different meaning in science than in regular language. A theory is (for all intents and purposes) an observable and repeatable result of an experiment that has hypothetical scenarios where...

Shouldn't you be busy making market crash predictions someplace?

So I dug this up... I think it should relate. Personally, I'd suggest that (if you are intent on giving them information) you find a lawyer to cover your ass, just in case they try anything underhanded.
