hmmm...while I know you were just making that theory up to make a point, I'm having difficuties understanding how *I* would have made your point, by showing your theory false.
"Since my point was that a theory fitting a single observation does not prove the theory correct,"
But your theory DID NOT fit even a single observation, so it DOES prove it was *incorrect*. While you imply that this means no theories are correct untill disproven, I think it's equally valid to claim all theories are correct untill disproven.
Thus, rather than what you claim, one could say a theory fitting even a single observation proves the theory correct, untill the moment an observation shows it to be incorrect.
