How about the hypothesis
that figures can lie and liars can figure?

How would you falsify it? Before we get carried away there are
statements (quite simple ones at that) that can neither be proved
"true" or "false."
For example "This statement is false." It can't be true because if it
were it would be false. It can't be false since if it were it would be
true. Hence, it is unprovable. It is a popular parlor game these for
those that want to obfuscate to use arguments calling on logical
theories that don't apply to push their own agenda. We see it daily on
talk radio ;-) .
