| The meaning of a word is dependent on the context that it is in. You cannot ignore context and apply multiple definitions to the same term and pretend that they are then identical and be treated the same way.

1obsolete : the kitchen servants of a household2 a: a rude or unscrupulous person b: a person who uses foul or abusive language
Group A is talking about kitchen servants. Group B is talking about people who swear all the time. Saying they are the same thing because they can be both share the same name is wrong. That is what you are doing. You are pretending that two totally different things are indeed the same. The common-word usage of the word theory is not interchangable with the definition of the word theory when applied to the scientific community.
