The ether is a medium, by definition, too, but that doesn't stop
the kook contigent from trying to work the word ``vacuum'' into
their spiel to try and mitigate the distinction between the vacuum
and a physical medium.

But that would be a ``physical process'' that explains the moon,
It eliminates all of the abstract ``principle theories'' that are
just ``math theories.'' Since, like lesage gravity, it's a ``physical
theory,'' there is no need to do anything but assert that it works.
As a ``physical theory,'' it's automatically exempt from any scientific
criteria applied to ``math theories.'' Just don't introduce virtual
cows.
