Not at all. I'm saying that you can't trust anything that is not, by its nature, capable of being proven false. E.g., The universe was created by and is controlled by the Invisible Pink Unicorn. It's a question of what is meant by capable of being falsified. It doesn't mean that it is ineveitable that it will be disproven. For example, it was hypothesized that two objects of different weights would fall tthrough the air at the same speed. You disprove it by dropping two such weights and showing that the ten pound weight falls ten times as fast as the one pound weight.
