Ideally, all but one, or at most a few, should be wrong.  How large a 
proportion of posited theories are wrong will depend on the number of 
theories posited, which in turn will depend on the extent to which the 
positors screen their ideas for consistency with the text.

My observation is purely statistical.in nature.

You seem to think that the Solar Cycle has some secret history that is its 
fundamental theme, that is everywhere obscured by misdirection and hidden 
away in allusions.  I don't subscribe to that.

I don't consider it a negative action to point out problems with proposed 
explanations.
