You do not have to remind me of that. I have to remind *you* that is a
violation of the scientific method. It is proposition that cannot be tested
or falsified. It is like saying there is probably an invisible undetectable
fairy godmother hovering in the air causing these effects. I find it
incredible that you still do not understand this.

An argument is not valid or meaningful *at all* unless you can describe
some specific means of testing it and proving it is true -- or false. No
one can prove that "there are probably potential methods." You have to list
actual methods. You might as well claim "there are probably potential
methods of proving that the world is flat." Okay, show us the methods!
