It's kind of like how we lovingly refer to some religious folk as "Sheeple", for when we ask them why they believe in God,it's "because of faith". When the religious ask us what we need in order to believe in God, we repetitively state that we need "evidence".
Well, hypothesis -> evidence -> theory -> criticism -> evidence -> lather, rinse, repeat
is the best we have, the only path to knowledge.
All the other putative paths have never produced any knowledge; ideas, yes - knowledge, no.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
