I’m worried this might devolve into semantics:
No worries, we agree. If by ‘check’ they meant ‘check directly’, then I agree the statement isn’t right.
Another alternative reading is “can theoretically be checked”. Obviously, this is strictly weaker, but still covers a large number of logical failures (e.g. creationism).
Belief in things that cannot be theoretically checked are fantasies. Do you think such beliefs are ‘logical failures’?
