What would be laughed at of court, even by mainstream scientists, is
your notion that all real scientific theories are absolutely
falsifiable. That notion shows a very basic misunderstanding of the
uses and range of scientific investigation.

Apparently you do not grasp the meaning of falsifiable. Which scientific
theories are not?

Let's all have a good laugh as you bluster and evade once again. What
sort of impression do you think that this gives, do you think?

Let see you explain how medical science isn't really science . . .
because the majority of medical hypotheses and theories are not
absolutely falsifiable you know. The same thing is true of physics,
chemistry, anthropology . . . even mathematics.

Medicine is poorly managed because it seldom has proper double-blind
studies. I have no idea how you would do a double-blind study on the
efficacy of surgery for lower-back pain.
