→Reversion Anticipated: Is this why?
:::::::To be fair EvanW, some of us do accept the idea they are falsifiable (and certainly detectable) and an actual scientific theory. Just a personal FYI. --[[User:BMcP|BMcP]] 10:37, 1 December 2009 (EST)

::::::::Point. Are you talking about the old debate with KSorenson here, where I pointed out, "So, we don't know that black holes do exist - that claim isn't falsifiable; we'd need to survey every <s>square</s>'''cubic''' millimeter of space and say 'there isn't a black hole here!'"? It seems that's a somewhat academic point: you could just as well say, "The existence of Jack Smith isn't falsifiable; you'd need to survey every square millimeter of the earth and say 'he isn't here'". If you want to say their existence isn't falsifiable because of that, be my guest but please explain the reason in the article. --[[User:EvanW|EvanW]] 10:49, 1 December 2009 (EST)
