Sure. If we were to assume a 0 value to the existence of Scooby Doo and say he doesn't exist, it would become exhaustive to understanding how he exists. It's conclusive to you as an individual, but not exhaustive as a whole. In science, the general emphasis is to study relationships between two or more subjects, then assign a value to those relationships.
It would make more sense to rule out Scooby Doo, defined by his character, as existing organically. That would still allow us to consider how he exists conceptually in society. We can rule out the organic existence because we know how the Scooby Doo character originated, but we can still continue to gather knowledge about Scooby Doo and other relationships involving him.
