Simply because we couldn't identify the mechanism does not mean that we could not isolate or observe the effect or it's relationship to what we could observe. Magic and spells and spirits have never been given a description that is immune to observation by means of experimentation, which is exactly how we've experimented on the hypothesis until it was a hollow little corpse. The minute someone proposes magic that is completely unobservable is the minute that they remove any effect or benefit or meaning from the term. Magic that cannot be observed or interact with the observable is , at the very least, functionally non-existent. At this point what exactly is the proponent of magic talking about? An idea or concept in their head? Granted, concepts exist. As has often been said, just because we can dream it up doesn't mean we'll find it out here in the waking world. Magic, spells, and spirits are not unfalsifiable, not even close.

I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
