The phrase, "tested to refutation."  Is a nonsense 
phrase.  It doesn't mean anything at all.  It doesn't 
mean anything to anybody, including yourself as you've 
demonstrated many times over with your inability to 
explain it rationally.  Instead you argue that it is 
something Popper said/claims/argues.  Unfortunately for 
you (and unlike yourself it seems) I've studied Popper.  
I know he's never used the phrase, "tested to 
refutation."  I'm calling your bluff.  Show us Popper's 
words, you ET (Josh is forcing me to abbreviate).

Don't wait for an invitation from me.  Go ahead and 
perform your stupid test, whatever it is.

I think this is something you should do John.  You 
drop his name enough.  Don't you think that if you 
are to be expected to step up to the plate and become 
a professional scholar that you should be required to 
abide by the same rules that all professional scholars 
must abide.  Don't you feel a responsibility to quote 
Popper accurately rather than restating his words to 
promote the impression that he's said something he 
really hasn't said?
