NEGATIVE TEST
In science, it has been found that falsification is more important than proof as falsification is practical while proof is infinite.
"One can sum up all this by saying that the criterion of the scientific status of a theory is its falsifiability, or refutability, or testability."--Karl Popper
"Every genuine test of a theory is an attempt to falsify it, or to refute it. Testability is falsifiability; but there are degrees of testability: some theories are more testable, more exposed to refutation, than others; they take, as it were, greater risks."--Karl Popper
It is easier to speak about something as true when the denial of it leads to confusion, disorder, or obvious error.
People are aware of the missing, of negative perception in disappointment, regret, and desire.
