Right...makes it unfalsifiable. Except they know that - similar to those sentences with garbled spelling that our brains can still read - "likely" is a (key) word most people will 'skip', so, with plausible deniability, they get their narrative across.

Same thing has been in true in 'the Sciences' for quite some time. Step 1. Publish a paper where you formulate a hypothesis based on weakly supported evidence or even just pure conjecture. Step 2. Write a second paper now stating that hypothesis as proven fact with reference to paper #1. Step 3. Revel in the fact that few will ever look up paper #1 to verify (publishing #1 as a quick 'communication' of sorts, maybe in a more obscure journal is good technique). Step 4. Repeat as needed to fully establish your 'the science'.
