Who does Cranialjax think he is to say he is too busy to remember who
originated a theory?

When he is a little bit older he will come to realise that today’s account of
how it works will be superseded tomorrow. It is extremely convenient to have a
shorthand name to identify the failed theory. This makes it much easier to
identify if a conclusion is based on obsolete thinking.
