      "Scientology works 100 percent of the time when it is properly applied to a person who sincerely desires to improve his life." A good example of a claim that fails to meet Popper's requirement of falsifiability and thus is unscientific - who can decide when something is 'properly applied'?  This is also a 'no true scotsman' fallacy.
