What would it take for it to be false? Butter would not melt at any temperature below one hundred. Butter does. So... It's not false.

What would it take for it to be true? Butter would need to melt at any temperature below one hundred. So... It's true. No? :brow:

Pardon me. Multiple conversations with multiple participants. Are you referring to the claim about butter?

I'm refraining from objecting. Predictions are ordinary statements about what will happen.

That's an interesting way to frame it considering Bolton's concerns were that president Trump's behaviour were exactly that(putting national security ...

I find no issue with that, so it's something to keep in mind. If we arrive at something which contradicts it, we aught pause and reconsider.

If we lose "statements" and stick with predictions, things change rather remarkably. There are no true predictions(when uttered). We may agree on more...

Pay attention.

That's socialism for the rich and powerful(including elected officials) and brute careless capitalism for everyone else.

There are no socialists running.

My explanation is better.

"Butter melts at less than one hundred degrees" is true, despite it not melting at all temperatures below one hundred degrees.

In order for a claim to be falsifiable it must already be false... or it's a prediction... which is neither true or false at the time it's first spoke...

I am saying that true statements cannot be shown to be false. If a statement cannot be shown as false, then it is unfalsifiable. I'm not making any as...

To be falsifiable is to be able to be shown as false. Agree?

A president who does everything in his power to stop any and all investigations into his own behaviour is a prima facie example... living proof, if yo...

Divert. Distract. Disrupt. Obstruct. Devalue. Demean. Ridicule. Ray Charles could see that.

Obstruction is clear. Trump's behaviour has trumped Nixon's behaviour many times over.

Funny that... coming from a president who wants anyone to believe he is some hero of anti-corruption... The slogan "drain the swamp" convinces only th...

Either all pairs of particles produced by sub-atomic decay are entangled or they are not. If they are not then the statement is false. It would take o...

Is this meant to represent an example of a true statement that is falsifiable? :brow:

Unless the corruption involves an investigation he does not agree with. Then... he does everything in his power to thwart, corrupt, belittle, devalue,...

True by definitional fiat. Definitions of that which existed in it's entirety prior to our awareness of it can be wrong. If we do not allow for that, ...

So... I'm a bit confused. Where is the true statement that is able to be shown as false?

Trump's defense has included the claim that Trump was performing his obligation/duty to investigate and eliminate governmental corruption... Never kne...

He's proven that he is the kind of person who resorts to any means possible to get what he wants.

So... We have concerted efforts and attempts to fulfill Constitutional obligations by members of the House Intelligence Committee and the House Judici...

This isn't about us. Talk about panty waists...

Hurry, hurry, change the focus...

Do you have an example that demonstrates your proposed scenario/situation?

True statements are unable to be shown as false for they never are. Better?

Trump has been a bigger supporter of a Ukrainian government being directly influenced by Russia.

Here's a fact: Immediately after winning the republican nomination, someone in the Trump campaign changed the republican national platform to no longe...

Some true statements are verifiable, but no true statement is falsifiable.

Facts cannot be false.

Verifiability takes precedence, particularly regarding foundational premisses.

If true statements cannot be falsified, then falsifiability fails as a standard for truth, and/or warrant.

Right. Just seems rather relevant.

None of which is mutually exclusive to demands for quid pro quo. In other words, all of the above could be true and Trump could have engaged in placin...

Same thing they've been claiming all along.

True statements cannot be falsified.

Well done.

You want to know who it is - which person - that Trump wants to stop from telling the truth... Look to see who Fox news is attacking. Adam Schiff does...

Evidently, when pressed, the meeting participants claimed ignorance of the fact that some of the people that they were collaborating with to obtain da...

Schiff argued precisely how certain rules of normal litigation do not - and cannot - equally apply to an impeachment trial. The magnitude could not be...

Irrelevant. Immaterial. Beside the point.

You're right. :razz: Falsifiable hypotheses are about observable entities.

An hypothesis is falsifiable when contradicting observations or verified statements.

The same rules for civil litigation do not apply to this impeachment trial. It is not just a civil case. All the relevant evidence needs to be introdu...

The constitutional responsibility of Senate members during impeachment is clear. Justice Roberts reminded the Senate of it already. It needs to be enf...
