 No. Ronb, no ....
 It's simplky a hypothesis.

 Another voice, if you will.
 This hypothesis is yet unproven , however, I think it holds as much
validity as the punks/assholes theory.
 Oddly, enough, I don't hear anyone asking for  validity of those theories:
what sort of punk are we talking about , anyaw? , punk , as in punk kid-
punk as in the political./ musical movement that swept Britain in the 70's
? Punk as in the fashion crazze that was in vogue in America in the 80's?

 And what, exactly , defines an asshole? do they  have identifying marks?
Why isd my hypothesis being held to a higher standard of evidence than
others? because it pisses you off? Would you feel more secure if it were
some random punks/ assholes?

 Also, as too, ther we have nothing else in common  bit- that's odd- I
thought we both were interested in Theatre... Silly me....
