This phrase is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to provide evidence that a particular idea or theory is accurate. For example: The observed behavior of this organism is consistent with the speculation that it is an apex predator.
These results may be consistent with the speculation that the crust of the Indian Plate penetrated the whole of the Tibetan Plateau in west Tibet (Li et al. 2008; Zhou and Murphy 2005).
Our previous results with madecassoside are also consistent with the speculation [ 36].
This is consistent with the speculation that AmMar1 and AmMar2 were transferred to the A. mellifera genome relatively recently [ 45, 46].
This is not consistent with the speculation that most of the putative ncRNAs are functional (Mattick and Makunin I.V. 2006) but agrees with other computational studies.
This explanation is consistent with the speculation that a person's sense of justice is a prerequisite for the rejection of unfair offers [ 49].
Mutant dmfrn spermatids showed a striking decrease in paracrystalline material and aberrant distribution of what little was present, consistent with the speculation that iron may be a component of this yet-uncharacterized material.
Consistent with this speculation, the stimulation of D2 receptors is generally considered to inhibit striatal medium spiny neuron firing.
Consistent with this speculation, the assimilation and fermentation of galactose are remarkably weakened in several sake yeast strains, including K7.
Consistent with this speculation, the N-terminus of S-HMGSH dehydrogenase purified from NBRC 109023 is blocked against Edman degradation (Fukuda et al. 2012), indicating that the N-terminus is modified.
The finding of an increased expression of the mas receptor in the renal medulla in STNx would be consistent with this speculation, as would the observation that restoration of renal medullary ACE2 activity and mas receptor expression following ACE inhibition reduced urine volume.
Our findings are consistent with this speculation, and the association between high-risk genotypes of rs12539530 and an increased breast cancer risk was significant in only one subset of women carrying specific genotypes of ESR1, but not in the other subset (Table S2 in Additional file 1).
