Steinhardt's falsifiability argument

The argument quoted in the Steinhardt post on edge.org asks whether a family of models that accommodates any observation still makes predictions.

A theory that can be adjusted to accommodate any observation has stopped making predictions.

It challenges Dru's August view. Its importance is the distinction between testing a particular model and falsifying inflation in practice, now the question for the next run.
