It was an attempt at a scientific theory that was discarded after sufficient evidence was discovered to contradict it. It was treated as reasonable by the scientists of the day because it was what they had evidence for.

It's a good lesson in science works. People develop hypotheses, they build them into theories, and, no matter how pretty the theory, if sufficient evidence arises to contradict it, it's wrong and discarded.
