 This is another comic on [[:Category:How to annoy|How to annoy]] people. Here [[Cueball]] annoys [[Megan]], a Scientist, by referring to the hypotheses that there are subsurface oceans on some of Jupiter's Moons, as "fan theories".
-A fan theory is an unofficial hypothesis about a fictional work from enthusiasts instead of the official authors. Fan theories may include {{w|Canon (fiction)|non-canonical}} background information for, or continuations of, official narratives.  Since humanity is not the "author" of the universe, all thoughts and writings on the nature of the universe are, almost by definition, non-canonical fan ideas. Fan theories have been referenced before in [[1401|comic 1401: New]].

 In this comic, Cueball refers to scientific hypotheses as "fan theories." Scientists might consider this as undervaluing their work, because scientific hypotheses are usually the result of much more serious research than the authorship of fiction. Charismatic cranks often obtain undeserved recognition for supposedly scientific hypotheses, so being lumped in with charlatans or pseudoscientists could be perceived as insensitive to rigorous scientists. Once again, [[Randall]] has attempted to devise a new way to annoy scientists. However, many if not most professional scientists are aware of similarities between hypotheses pertaining to fiction and non-fiction.
