How can you know if a scientific hypothesis is worth investigating before you've investigated it? It can of course be more or less plausible, but unless you've actually done the work, you don't know.

Jumping to the conclusion that because there is no evidence, that this in itself means something is true or false, that is committing exactly the same category of logical error the flat earthers and ancient aliens people are doing. In the absence of evidence is uncertainty.
