Wow.  What a strange notion.  Calling something a name doesn't
make it so, of course, so that's not very interesting.  Far more
interesting in a perverse way is the suggestion that you don't
investigate something until its existence is proved.

Good thing science doesn't work that way, or we'd be wearing
bearskins and living in caves.  How can you prove -- or, for
that matter, disprove -- something unless you investigate it?
In point of fact, nothing is proved or disproved until it's
investigated. Would we even know the world is round if somebody
hadn't set out to investigate that unproved claim?  My word.

I'd suggest Leanne has a medieval mindset, but frankly, I don't
think her mindset has made it that far along in intellectual
evolution.
