Sorry to have missed it but.... what can not be subjected to the scientific method?
the playing of music, poetry, written history, theology, geography, while linguistics is all the various disciplines separately are not. you do not need the scientific method to read. reading has it's own rules. topography. really all subjects except pure science. Then all the semi scientific fields Popper call pseudo science.

There you go getting popper wrong, again, anyway. Popper addressed logical positivism. Poppers work delegitimized -any- product of logical positivism.
The op sport. why are you this deep in the thread arguing if you ave no clue as to the nature of the op?
and on the second bit I am explaining how he did this:
Popper, 1902-1994, railed against dogmatism in all forms. He is best-known for the principle of falsification, a means of distinguishing pseudo-scientific theories, like astrology and Freudian psychoanalysis, from genuine ones, like quantum mechanics and general relativity.
[i]Observations can only disprove a theory, or falsify it. In The Open Society and Its Enemies, published in 1945, Popper asserted that politics, even more than science, must avoid dogmatism, which inevitably fosters repression. Open Society has been invoked lately by those concerned about the rise of anti-democratic forces. Popper’s falsification principle has been used to attack string and multiverse theories, which cannot be empirically tested. Defenders of strings and multiverses deride critics as “Popperazzi.”[/i]

Again what popper did was separate science from things like theology. You retards who use the term 'falsification' are using it backwards as a way to use science to delegitimize all non scientific fields.
