  Okay, glad you made it impossible to write a comment that disagrees with yours. You know what they say about things that aren't falsifiable, they're definitely correct!!

    > You know what they say about things that aren't falsifiable, they're definitely correct!! Ah, the ol' Hitchens's movie night: "what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed with popcorn".

      That Hitchens quote is pithy and snow-clonable but demonstrated an impoverished and static epistemology. It is circular and self-falsifying by respectively assuming the existence of “evidence” independent of the assertion’s observation bias and not obeying its own assertion.
