There has been substantial amount of empirical work on remote seeing and telepathy, including some that "prove" them to be true.

Doing a legitimate experiment on remote seeing for instance is by definition science, just like doing experiments trying to prove luminiferous ether were science back in the 19th century. Science is a methodology, not facts and something doesn't become science just because your hypothesis is correct or incorrect.

Right, the question is whether the hypothesis or theory is falsifiable, regardless of the subject matter. Economic theories are falisifable; we can see pretty clearly how much the theoretical models deviate from observation.
