In Reply to: A Suggestion Why Some Observations Cannot be Scientifically Verified posted by John C. - Aussie on November 14, 2002 at 14:08:04:
Someone's preference is just that, no more, no less.No scientific (or other) justification is required.
Only when a scientific claim is made does scientific verification enter the arena.
Of course, not all ideas are scientifically verifiable, some because they are easily falsified, and some because they can not be falsified.
