They're called scientific theories.

(sigh!)  Wozniak goes nuts again!

a plan, a portrayal.
plan: "scheme, design, way of doing things, idea"
Wozniak seems to have trouble with understanding
that words have a range of meaning.  Perhaps in
addition to addiction, dishonesty and coprophilia
he has autism, too.

Well, exact science was never good
at this kind of problems.

There is no such thing as "exact science."  The
degree of certainty increases when going from
hypotheses to theories to laws.  Even laws aren't
certain:
"What is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be
the truth." -- Richard Feynman

Unintelligent humans build bad maps, as
demonstrated by many posters to this
discussion group.

Wozniak doesn't even realize he's describing
himself.  He NEVER discusses: he pontificates.

they're just spitting and slandering their
opposition, just like you.

Wozniak has no clue whether anyone is spitting
while typing a response to his addled posts,
and no one is "slandering" because:
slander: the action or crime of making a false
SPOKEN statement damaging to a person's reputation"
and for two reasons: anything said here is written,
not spoken and Wozniak has no reputation to
damage.
Wozniak is like the pathological liar:
"Pathological liars often lie to manipulate and
control others, creating intricate stories that
may even deceive themselves."

And he doesn't seem to realize that he is doing
exactly what he denounces in others, nor does he
realize that HE is a builder of bad maps :-)
