LOL. This ass clown names "theorems" after himself! How pompous, this clown is not a mathematician, he is barely a bona fide "scientist".

Theorems require proof. And the proofs require tracebility to axioms which you can just pull out of your a$$ if you want. So whether your "theorem" has any useful meaning in the real world depends on which axioms you offer. Choose the right axioms and you can prove any "theorem" you want.

To be fair, he may not have named this after himself. It is not uncommon for a researcher to state a theorem, create a measure or methodology, etc. that subsequent researchers begin referring to as "so and so's theorem" until it becomes the commonly accepted name.

RE your use of the present tense: Fisher has been dead for over 50 years. Makes you look like an idiot.
