Aha! I think I figured it out! You made a totally unsupported statement, without any real purpose, called it a contention (rather than some other thesaurus-derived synonym), and it resulted in 100-odd posts!

Half right.

Take two statements.

A is non-falsifiable.

Evidence contrary to A is being suppressed.

They clearly contradict each other. Both cannot be true. If A is non-falsifiable, there can be no contrary evidence. If there is contrary evidence, A is falsifiable.

Saying they are both contentions for the purpose of argument when they were stated back to back in the same very short paragraph is a lame attempt to backtrack to repair a mistake and save face.
