You mess around with wire. You decide based probably upon one or two experiences that you prefer solid core to stranded wire, all else being equal. You then wonder why that is. Then without any data you design and carry out what Einstein called a thought experiment, except we are not Einsteins. This method of deduction leads you to think up a possible explanation that may have no relevance at all to what you heard or thought you heard and may not even be happening in real life. Nevertheless, you write it down somewhere, and it gets read by other people. They tell their friends, and after a while, your pure conjecture based on no evidence and shaky theory becomes gospel truth.
