Exactly, that's why stuff gets tested a lot of times, and even then, there are room for changes and speculation. The stuff that cannot be tested (as today) is done based of what we assume to be truth (thanks to intensive testing). As for the "not only approach" argument well, I think you are right. But it's the one that has managed to give us technology and to make us understand better our world. It wasn't directly used years ago, but scientists, as opposed to philosophers, experimented even before the method was created.
"Pseudoscience" or whatever you want to call it doesn't attempt to prove what it claims, and it has been used to explain things we were unable to understand before, and as a very good business model.
In any case, would anyone be interested in what I think can read this short passage from one of Sagan's book "A dragon in my garage": http://www.fireandknowledge.org/archives/2008/04/06/a-fire-breathing-dragon-lives-in-my-garage-sagan/
Otherwise you can think of me as a hard headed nerd who can't stand the others to have fun, both are ok to me.
