I WON'T BE making recourse to my same arguments again, but rather suggest a couple of things:
1. Part of the difference between us is the question of whether the statement 'x is a falsifiable statement which is scientific and thus the area of study which produces x is scientific' is existentially quantified or universally quantified, and, I want to stress, this is ultimately a philosophical-linguistic debate and hence there is no one verifiably correct answer. Political scientists can (and do) predict voter behavior accurately all the time. The inability to come up with such an instance proves rather more about the person arguing than the field in dispute.
2. Read Micromegas by Voltaire (less than 25 pages) and tell me what you think. He seems to get it, in the most fundamental of senses.
