Quoting me definitions that arose to begin with from bunk science does not negate my point that they&#x27;re incorrect and based on bunk science.  Just because words have entered the popular lexicon doesn&#x27;t make them correct when applied in the very area the bad science was done.  The term alpha is non-sense, end of story.<p>&gt; I don&#x27;t know what alpha theory you are talking about,<p>Clearly, so why don&#x27;t you look into the origins of the word and its current usage; what you&#x27;ll find is bad science. Packs don&#x27;t have alphas and betas, dogs and wolves don&#x27;t have alphas and betas; the leader of a pack is usually the father of the pack, not the strongest or most dominant in a pack, and everything implied about dominance by the term alpha is simply wrong.  It&#x27;s not how packs work, it&#x27;s not how baboons work, it&#x27;s not how social groups work. There are no betas and no alphas. It&#x27;s just bad science that got popular enough to enter the popular lexicon.
