•You never
prove a scientific theory “right”
–If it is so trivial you can test every possible case, it
isn’t much of a theory.
•Useful
theories are general theories
–You can’t test every possible case.
•All you can
really do is try to prove theories wrong
–When you honestly try and can’t, as least some part of
it must be approximately
“right”.

•A “theory”
which has been carefully crafted so it cannot be proven wrong isn’t a scientific theory.
