One problem I noticed right off the bat with your critique is that scientific discovery can proceed in the opposite direction as you assert.

OP has laid out a hypothesis based on an actual physical/mechanics phenomenon. Just because he hasn't done the next step in testing the hypothesis mathematically doesn't mean it's not useful for discussion.

Hypothesis first: Check Mathematical proof: step 2 Experimental validation: step 3

Responses like yours, with snide dismissive comments like this are what demotivate people to push on to the next steps.
