No, you are wrong. A scientific theory is already proven, it is not a hunch.
Here is the definition:
A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.
Look at the tail end of what I said. "They all start somewhere". I wasn't talking about where they ended up, but where they started. Hunch, hypothesis, depending on how that goes, theory. It always nagged me back in undergrad that it was just "theory" not really more concrete then that. It was explained to me that it was because something later on could come along and eventually show that either there was a twist to it or it wasn't actually the case. Sometimes new technology may come along that would alter the hypothesis a little bit etc.
