I think the short statement would be a lot weaker (and better IMO) if “inability” were replaced with “inability or unwillingness”. “Inability” is implying a hierarchy where falsifiable statements are better than the poetry, since the only reason why you would resort to poetry is if you are unable to turn it into falsifiable statements.

I changed it to say “aren’t doing so (or can’t).”
