Absolutely, I mispoke there. Experiments must be repeatable and hypotheses falsifiable. Truth in science is essentially about minimizing the probability of errors in our models. For example, it could still be the case that the sun won't rise tomorrow due to some unforseen law of the universe, still all our models predict and have consistently correctly predicted it to be the case that the sun rises on the next day, so we can with a high probability assert the Truth that the sun will rise tomorrow.
