Claims of observations are not falsifiable or verifaible, unless those observations are strictly monitored by sense. Consequently, casual judgements (i.e. casual conclusions following casual observations) of claims of observation settle deeply on mere assumption. You cannot make scientific progress by rebuking unfalsifiable and unverifiable claims, or rather, rebuking claims that you are unable to falsify [...]
