Is it true that a GOOD argument is falsifiable?

That was my assumption until someone claimed that ';this line of thinking was thrown out the window decades ago'; without elaborating.





It just seems to me that if a hypothesis cannot be tested by it's nature then it doesn't really do much to answer the ';how'; questions, if at all.





What do you think?Is it true that a GOOD argument is falsifiable?
I think that a good answer would not dismiss the premise by arbitrarily diminishing it.





Questions demand answers, reasoned positions taken by a thoughtful responder; this is the basis of the liberal arts and the sciences. Intelligent answers pass ';the test'; and become the basis for factual information that is beneficial for the common good.Is it true that a GOOD argument is falsifiable?
Thank you for a GOOD question!
