The conclusions of research imply the presence of evidence and argument, where a 'proposition' is generally used to describe what Voynicheros call a 'theory' - and which is just a vague idea that suits the proponent.
It's as if a mechanic pulled your car apart, identified each part of it, and told you what sort of engine it had, who manufactured it, and exactly what was wrong with it, and you responded by saying "Hey, here's an idea - what if it's not a car but a rubber dinghy?"
The first is a conclusion; the second a proposition in this instance. Totally unfounded notion.
To those who agree with the idea, it may appear as a conclusion.
To those who disagree or have some level of doubt, it will still be viewed as a proposition.
