That's fine, that caveat does not make the claim unfalsifible. We can have them keep trying until either A: the spirits are willing and negative energy is not blocking their powers, or B: it becomes painfully clear that their claims were unfounded. Either they can, at some point, do what they said they could do or they cannot. Which is exactly what we did. We might also ask them to elaborate upon or demonstrate spirits, or negative energies. To propose a mechanism by which their magic works. A position does not become unfalsifiable simply because the proponent has attempted to design it as such.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. 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 yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. 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!
