To be fair, any story is just a fart in the wind. Even the sciencey ones.
A serious investigator sees for himself.
Sorry what "sciencey story" is a fart in the wind? Because I imagine either you don't know what a hypothesis is or whatever example you have doesn't actually follow the scientific method.
The sciencey story has no intrinsic weight. In this way it is insubstantial (IE a fart in the wind). It is its reference to a real observation that lends it its weight.
So you disprove your own argument.
Sciencey story has weight because it has repeatable evidence. It has weight because it's real.
That would involve referring to the evidence. IE the observation.
The observation is key.
That’s exactly what Einstein said about quantum mechanics.
