This response makes no sense. I am not sure how to adequately respond.

I think your trying to say that untestable hypotheses are not valid hypotheses. I agree. The dragon in my garage is relevant reading.

The process is based on falsification because you can never prove a hypothesis, one can only disprove a hypothesis. So the SM is ratcheted in one direction. That is, trying to disprove or falsify a hypothesis rather than trying to prove a hypothesis.
