Actually this does make sense.  This doesn't lead to a contradiction unless
one such experiment produces the paradoxical result.  As long as such an
experiment doesn't produce such a result, there's nothing to worry about.
Being falsifiable in principle isn't going to produce contradictions unless
real falsification occurs.
