That is bad science. The judgment of a theory is NOT based on the
"logic" or "causality" of its postulates. Those kinds of presumptions
are dangerous, because they are dependent on the structure of the
human mind. The ONLY criteria for a successful theory are:
a) mathematical self-consistency
b) accurate prediction of experimental data, to the degree that there
are no data that are inconsistent with the theory's predictions where
the theory claims to apply.

You have simply the wrong metrics for the validity or strength of a
theory.
