so amazing when your magic/energy/occult theory just so happens to be perfectly shaped to avoid any empirical testing whatsoever

Can we run a study on it?
no, because if you don't believe in it won't give you results.
So can we run a study where we see if believers get different results than nonbelievers?
well no, the effects are personal and hard to predict and rely on individual interpretation.

It's a big red flag for your worldview if the entirety of it lies just beyond the border of empirical testing, it's like pointing to a ring of dirt just beyond where the mop reaches and going "yes, an organic discovery of a natural structure that has nothing to do with the mop"

If your theory has any impact on the real world at all, then it should be testable! it's in the domain of testability! It might be really hard to figure out a test, and the test might not be perfect, but it's possible. That which can be cleaned by the mop, should be.
