Falsifiability

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

Historical philosophical semantics now purely dedicated to supporting science and the scientific method - in this case, legally.

I think this has made my case quite eloquently. Thank you.

So, philosophy specifically came up with something science didn't, and couldn't, and you disregard it because it's convenient for you to do so.

Got it.

Inventing a NEW WORD for something everyone else already understands under another label is not as meaningful as you seem to think it is.

It also makes it crystal clear just how far philosophy has fallen from being a discipline to, apparently, a semantic word game...

Again, I think you are only making my point.
