The dissertation wouldn't have to prove anything unquestionably. It would just have to demonstrate a sound understanding of good principles that are being worked from.

Any conclusions could be completely wrong, and it could still be a great dissertation.

Think of how long it took paleontologists to prove dinosaurs had feathers. Every other paleontologist before then was not a blithering idiot.

Ah. Demonstrate understanding. Thank you. That makes sense! I wasn’t trying to be obstinate. I just didn’t get it.
