Science catching up

As far as the original post, I figured it to be spam, but since I wasn't logged in and was just here briefly, I just looked at it and went on. Sometimes posts unexpectedly turn out to be an interesting thread.
As far as the quote about science catching up to what I'm saying, isn't that the pattern in a lot of medical research? Anecdotal evidence abounds and astute scientists (or pharmaceutical companies) question why and begin their research. (I know that's not always the case.) I can imagine that quote framed and hanging on the wall of all great inventors.
I'm not at all saying that conjecture can refute science, just that a whole lot of scientific research and discovery came out of one person's "Aha!" moment or from observation of patterns in our world. I would imagine that substantiating one's theory with fact would be the ultimate "I told you so."
