Fair enough. We might disagree about the exact boundaries of "science" (I tend to think of it more as a spectrum than as a matter of black-and-white boundary),

Fair enough. We might disagree about the exact boundaries of "science" (I tend to think of it more as a spectrum than as a matter of black-and-white boundary), but I totally agree with you that scientists, in general, should try to falsify instead of evangelizing. Not even trying to falsify would be gross negligence.
