title: [Scientability - an answer to homeopathy?].
abstract: Introducing the term "scientability", Christian Weymayr proposed to disapprove of clinical studies of homeopathy since the latter contradicts "deﬁnite scientiﬁc ﬁndings." This article argues against his conclusion. Specifically, violating the principle of total evidence would undermine the credibility of science.
