It's one thing to guess, or conjucture a hypothesis.

It is another thing to track down all the data, do all the calculations, and actually provide confirmation for the hypothes, and put it out there for others to confirm or not-confirm.

The former is just a guess in the wind (maybe worth a Tweet - "Check out this odd thing!"); the latter is applying science and is worth an article.
