A proposition is scientific if and only if it is falsifiable. This is the criterion or principle of falsifiability. Falsifiability must be distinguished from falsity, of course.
The need for some such criterion is one reason why falsifiability of theories holds special importance in this book. If theories yield statements in the empirical world that stand to be confirmed or undermined by actual empirical reports, we have the basis for one overarching standard.
