On the claim: What is a scientific claim?

שו”תOn the claim: What is a scientific claim?
asked 4 years ago

Regarding Papour’s claim regarding the criterion that gives any claim the title of “scientific claim” (one that can withstand the test of refutation), is this claim itself scientific?
I tried to think about it but it seems impossible or that trying to answer the question requires us to assume what is being asked or something like that.. What do you say?

Of course, this is not a scientific claim (how would you put it to the test of refutation?). It is a claim that is part of the definition of what science is.
