That's like saying "we need to confine ourselves to business plans that make money." Everyone understands and agrees on the importance of this as an ultimate goal but nobody knows the path to get there -- the hard work is in trying and rejecting promising paths until you find one that works.

Right. So there's room for developing hypotheses that we don't yet know how to test. Because some branch might be testable, or some new technology might become available. Just as with business plans and profit. But at some point, someone should maybe call bullshit. Kuhn etc have explored criteria. One of them, as I recall, is asymptotically increasing complexity.
