This is what is known as an adhoc theory where the results are essentially assumed. That is not to say that physicists do not do that all the time, or at least some of them some of the time. But usually the assumptins are so hidden that the average reader, no, the average physicist does not realize that the answer had been assumed. I did it all (no, really just some of)the time in working on Star Wars because it was a bluff meant to persuade the Sovtets to spend ten times as much money on a system that we knew could not work. It was inherently vulnerable. And the Soviets were vulnereable to bankruptcy. Reagan's SDI was the straw that broke the cmel's back.
