Ok plausible theory. Can you prove it?
This sounds vaguely plausible, but do you have anything backing that up? Unproven theories are a dime a dozen.
A plausible theory, that's all!
It's more an intriguing hypothesis than an accepted finding. The reasoning is interesting and plausible.
An interesting theory, but there's no proof of it, is there?
Haven't come across this theory, but sure, it's a theory.
That's an interesting theory with absolutely no evidence to support it.
Interesting theory. Let's agree that it's inconclusive then!
That's a cool theory, do you have any data to back it up or is this just an unfounded assertion?
That's an interesting hypothesis - though one that is far from fact, that many would disagree with, and which has never been tested. As such, you might want to avoid fallaciously stating it as a certainty.
