No examples?

Articles that have fallacies or pseudoscience usually give examples.CycoMa (talk) 14:59, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

What exactly are you expecting here? — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 15:59, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I mean this article doesn't give any examples where not even wrong arguments have been used.CycoMa (talk) 16:05, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm asking why that's important. Examples don't actually add much to the article. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 16:36, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

@CycoMa2: We could mention string theory and Peter Woit's (via math dot columbia dot edu) physics blog, Not Even Wrong, as example(s).--FeralOink (talk) 06:02, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

falsifiability

falsifiability isn't universally accepted criterion, would even go as far as to say that it's not a dominant one, phrases like "some say" should be added 91.123.188.244 (talk) 06:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

I would add that I think it’s highly unlikely that Pauli meant “unfalsifiable” in reference to a paper by a young physicist. He was a theoretician and almost certainly meant that the mathematics were garbled. 82.0.239.187 (talk) 23:09, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Agree that he wasn't talking about falsifiability. Pauli's comment is more along the lines of the phrase usually attributed to Davy Crockett: "That don't even make good nonsense." Wastrel Way (talk)Eric
