Question

what does it mean when someone says: \i have a theory about that\ in casual everyday language? it means just the same as a scientific theory. they mean they have a guess, hunch, or opinion. they are referring to the results of a carefully researched scientific question.

Explanation:

In casual everyday language, when someone says "I have a theory about that," they are not using the term in the scientific sense (which is a well - tested and supported explanation). It is not referring to the results of a carefully researched scientific question. Instead, it is more like a guess, hunch, or opinion.

Answer:

They mean they have a guess, hunch, or opinion.
