I've got to leave now for awhile, but I must be in that lower half of the intellect curve. Not only do I not understand what you mean by falsifiability, I'm not sure how important or valid it is as a measurement of what is or is not scientific. New stuff turns up all the time. What is falsifiable this year may prove otherwise next year if something new is discovered. Or so it occurs to me. It was a new concept to me and I only scanned the definition of it. It didn't resonate though. The good stuff in science is stuff like string theory and quarks, so I was unsure where falsifiability fits in or is relevant.
