Either something is measurable, repeatable, and testable or it’s B.S. unless it’s a guess at something that happened previously (creationism, evolution, continental drift).
But only that which can be measured matters IMHO.

Either something is measurable, repeatable, and testable or it’s B.S Nothing can be measured perfectly, and therefore no experiment is perfectly repeatable, except within the limits of experimental error. Sometimes experiments, or tests, only produce meaningful results as the average of many trials.

You really do not want to go there...most of science gets flushed down the toilet kinda fast:

The link is Rupert Sheldrake's banned Ted Talk "The Science Delusion" where he talks (among other things) about scientific "laws" that have a nasty habit of changing over time and scientific "constants" that turn out not to be constant.

I can't really measure why I like bacon much more than broccoli, but I know that I do and that matters a lot to me.
If I ever ordered a bacon cheeseburger and found that it had broccoli in it where the bacon ought to be I would be sorely disappointed.
