Is it correct or incorrect in science to define a theory as someone's best guess?

If a scientist were being modest, or trying to describe theory in layman's terms, then yes, this might be an accurate description.
However, a true theory is backed up by scientific data and observation, so guess might not be an accurate term.
A good theory, like relativity or quantum theory, has so much observational data backing it up that it is barely a guess any more.
