Abstract: Thomas Angelidis says in his letter (February p15) that my belief that science is not falsifiable means that there would be no difference between Einstein's theory of relativity and Freud's theory of dreams. Well, there would be a massive difference-in terms of the weight of evidence, the explanatory predictive power, the logical coherence and necessity, and so on. Philosophers may not have found an algorithmic way, such as falsifiability, to test and compare these two theories. Indeed, such an algorithm may not exist.
