I'm all in favor of testable new ideas. Not untestable, nonscientific 
ideas. Ideas that have distinguishing predictions that can be compared 
to observational evidence.

Like:
BH
DM
DE
QM

Like things that John finds distasteful regardless of whether it matches 
observation or not.

Now, you have any ideas that meet those criteria?
