OK, I'll bite on that.

"The Theory is just scientists speculating on how to connect the dots. "

Speculation is not fact.

"The Theory is changing constantly as more and more dots are established. Quite often the dots change also, when new discoveries shown the conclusions of the past are invalid. "

Exactly. It's not fact, so the idea, The Theory is not fact.

So why present it as such?
