Editing Falsifiability

Falsifiability is the theoretical ability of a theory to be falsified through empirical investigation or additional analysis or acquisition of additional evidence. Falsiability is a fundamental criterion of scientific (as opposed to non-scientific) theories and therefore to scientific (empirical) investigation. [[Conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]] are often characterized as being unfalsifiable. This is a point of contention as investigative journalists or conspiracy investigators have often alleged that evidence or analysis that would prove falsity if the theory were indeed false, has been deliberately suppressed by agents of the same conspiracy actors and that a long-standing, self-disciplining, unacknowledged [[modus operandi|way of doing things]] has enabled them to do so successfully.
