"I'm always amused by the Popper argument that excuses the "absolutely certain knowledge" about falsification from the rest of uncertain knowledge, which means all the rest of human knowledge." You don't seem to be familiar with Popper's actual position. In Section 9 of Logic of Scientific Discovery, Popper writes: "In point of fact, no conclusive disproof of a theory can ever be produced; for it is always possible to say that the experimental results are not reliable, or that the discrepancies that are said to exist between the experimental results and the theory are only apparent and that they will disappear with the advance of our understanding."
