It really doesn't matter if they are falsifiable well into the future because you are already dead and gone and it isn't as if anyone is going to want their money back. It's really a testament (pardon the pun) to gullibility when parts of your claims are proven false and people still buy the rest of them completely unfazed with the proof of the scam.
