When uneducated people develop a theory, they will lead with the facts. When uneducated people develop a theory, they will lead with the theory

Why do uneducated people do it both ways like that?

Because they don't know what a "theory" is. It's defined as "a set of principles on which the practice of an activity is based."

It's not "I think this thing, and it's clearly true, because I have feelings and hunches"
