 Falsificationism's demarcation "falsifiable" grants a theory the status "scientific"—simply, empirically "testable"—not the status "meaningful", a status that Popper did not aim to arbiter.Popper found no scientific theory either verifiable or, as in Carnap's "liberalization of empiricism", confirmable, and found unscientific, metaphysical, ethical, and aesthetic statements often rich in meaning while also underpinning or fueling science as the origin of scientific theories.The only confirmations particularly relevant are those of risky predictions, such as ones conventionally predicted to fail.
